I wish to address the chair of the board. Mr. Bakhurst mentioned, I think, being on the set of “Dancing with the Stars”. It brings me back to a statement I made with regard to this committee, on behalf of the taxpayer, nominating a person to the board who was not wanted by the chair of the board at the time. There was a threat to pull “Dancing with the Stars” from that person's company and the person resigned at the first meeting. A comment was made here by the former chair that there was a conflict of interest in that person being on the board, which was totally incorrect. We got correspondence from Mr. Bass since then. What is the chair’s view on whether there was a conflict of interest? Does she think there should be some people from the independent sector on the board of RTÉ going forward?
