I know, but Cabinet should be asking what efforts RTÉ made to stop the rot and the fall-off in the fee. It looks to me like it decreased rather than increased efforts. It is unforgivable if that happened. Facts are facts; RTÉ stopped advertising it. That is new. We were not told that at any hearings before summer. It is not the Minister’s decision. She did not make that decision. I am not saying that.

The board needs to answer why that happened. We are talking about the new board; this is not something that happened in the past. We are talking about a sum of €17.5 million and counting. It is not good business.
