Sure, but I will put it like this to Mr. Bakhurst. The presenters are contractors as well, and their figures are disclosed. I do not see the difference between a presenter's contract and the production company that produces "Callan's Kicks". It is funding the same people. Oliver Callan, clearly, is benefiting significantly from the contract his production company has with RTÉ for "Callan's Kicks". RTÉ is starting a new page with a new presenter. We need full clarity on what the production company producing "Callan's Kicks" is being paid by RTÉ.
