Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

I think it would have been reckless to get rid of the whole executive. I made decisions on the individual members of the then executive on the basis of what I had seen and heard, what I read in the reports, what their actions were and how I see them doing their job day to day. I am here today with Adrian and Eimear who are absolutely core to driving the change in this organisation. I will say in their defence that the executive was very dysfunctional. Decisions were taken by one or two members excluding the rest of them. This is one of the things I have tried to address. All the big decisions now come to the leadership team. Whether it is about commissioning programmes like "Dancing with the Stars", presenter salaries, strategy or whatever else, all the big decisions now come to the full leadership team for discussion and there are new processes in place to make sure that the really important ones go to the board as well.
