Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

Thank you. Since Ms Cusack joined this organisation, she has done more to regularise the workforce at RTÉ. As I explained in some detail earlier on, the number of people who went through the Eversheds process were the ones who are currently working in the organisation and who have substantial rights. They have been regularised and given permanent employment rights. RTÉ is now in a position that anyone who comes to join us has employment rights. With very few exceptions, this is the normal practice. The numbers who are outstanding here include many who are historical. Many are contractors who did the odd day or week here or there. The liability, therefore, is quite limited. It is nowhere near the figures I have heard quoted by the Deputy or others.
