I have one last question if I may. I wanted to get to the bogus self-employment issue and maybe my colleagues will. I have a question about this letter from Arthur Cox solicitors. Why were you asking RTÉ workers to take on Arthur Cox solicitors for what are effectively human resources issues in your own organisation? Do you think that is best practice? Do you think that is fair and acceptable in this day and age for people who are on fractions of the wages that you are earning, when they cannot resolve a long-standing issue? I think the issue has to be resolved. I ask the director general if there is an estimated figure of the cost to resolve this. Is a letter from Arthur Cox to your workers any way to treat your employees?
