Because every public representative believes that it is imperative that as elected representatives they ensure that the moneys are spent properly. RTÉ is hiding documentation. I am not sure who it is that you are trying to protect or what it is that you are trying to protect, but we need the documentation. We are going to compel RTÉ to provide it. All you are actually doing is delaying the committee from carrying out its functions and also bestowing an obligation on, and taking the moral high ground over, Ryan Tubridy by saying he has a moral obligation. It is not the case. I am afraid you cannot really pick and choose, Mr. Bakhurst. I think the public will decipher that for themselves. The same will happen when it comes to seeing the voluntary exit packages.
