I have one question for the director general. I raise the issue of the less well remunerated, which is the RTÉ pensioners. A pay increase due to RTÉ pensioners, of 2.5%, was granted last December. Ten months on, there is nothing. Their contracts state that pension increases are linked to the wage and pay agreements. We have seen top executives have their pay restored, with some getting in excess of €10,000. Most RTÉ pensioners would be living on less than €20,000. They have paid a considerable amount of money into their defined pension scheme. There has been one increase, of just 2%, since 2008. I ask if, at that meeting, the Minister could follow up on this for pensioners and revert to me on it.
