Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

The only thing I would say to that is we are involved in a significant change process at RTÉ. We are transforming the company, as can be seen from the scope project on its own. That, in itself, is an immensely complicated piece of work. I have made the changes that I think need to be made and people have had to take responsibility for what they have done.

In the case of the HR director, she delivers day in, day out for this company. She is driving change and fairness. She is an important part of the leadership team. I am not afraid to make changes, as the Senator has seen. A significant number of people have left. I will make the changes that I think are necessary but I also need to carry on running the organisation and leading change in it.
