I do not know if the clerk can bring us to question No. 4, which related to the guarantee and the meeting of 7 May. It appears the response to that question indicates that an agreement was made at that Teams meeting that the guarantee was in place and also that in the advance of the sponsor not being in place, RTÉ would be liable. Having had the opportunity to privately read both the original minutes and the more public version of it, I can find no reference in either of those documents to any agreement taking place at that meeting. Second, many of the items in it clearly state RTÉ’s position that if it were to do that, it would be liable. I think that is why the committee went on to ask whether there were subsequent meetings.
