Absolutely, but we are doing this against a backdrop of future funding, which is also an agenda item today. You said it is an Oireachtas matter. Some in these buildings want it to be fully funded from the public Exchequer. We will have a vote on that in the Dáil tonight. Along with that there are those calling for an amnesty for people who will not pay their TV licence. To me, it looks like RTÉ is looking for that amnesty. We have a situation where management, former management and ex-employees have cost taxpayers millions of euro along with other largesses. We now have an organisation with mounting losses coming to the Exchequer effectively asking to be bailed out. I have a problem with that. I have said it to this committee. I have said it on television, and I have said it in the Chamber. I do not agree with the proposals being put forward tonight. I am a supporter of RTÉ, but I do not agree with those proposals. I ask you to look at the year ahead because I do not want it to be felt like that is a crutch for RTÉ. I am fearful of that. What are the projected TV licence figure losses for 2024, going off this trajectory?
