I see they were but they were the cultural concerns and the damage to the reputation. I think it is fair to say that the issues were not necessarily raised around funds.

Very quickly, I have two final questions for Mr. Bakhurst, which is part of the restoration of trust. It is part of what we are trusting Mr. Bakhurst with. Two of the things he indicated need addressing. One is that he indicated that there would be a salary cap of €250,000 for all presenters. I would be grateful if Mr. Bakhurst could indicate progress with that. The other is the question we asked when Ryan Tubridy and Noel Kelly were before our committee and which I posed, which was around Ryan Tubridy paying back the €150,000 if the six gigs that were promised were not done. Has that been paid back, and is RTÉ continuing to pursue that? Mr. Bakhurst might also give us an update on the salary cap issue.
