I again welcome all the witnesses. I thank Mr. Bakhurst and Ms Ní Raghallaigh for their statements, the contrition offered in those statements here today as well, and for what they are saying in terms of going forward. Their words are a bit like the White Star Line apologising for the sinking of the Titanic, because neither of them were at the helm when the musical fiasco hit the iceberg, but questions were put to RTÉ this time last year at this committee, in this room about this disastrous show. Mr. Lynch was there. He was sitting in that seat on 18 January 2023. Why did he sit there and not say a word when that matter was raised at this committee on 18 January 2023?
