Absolutely. I am coming to that. I very much admired your stance that no one will earn more than the director general. Mr. Callan himself informed the nation that he is getting €150,000 on a two-year contract. What we do not know, and I think we need to know, is if RTÉ has entered negotiations with him in terms of "Callan's Kicks". I ask this because my understanding is that this is a separate company. If so, what kind of money are we talking about? Will that bring his combined earnings from RTÉ over the salary of the director general?
