Last Monday night, at 6.30 p.m., all of us received an email from Kevin Bakhurst, the director general. There is a lovely picture of him there. He told us about your meeting last Monday and he described it as a "positive and constructive meeting", and that he highlighted to the Minister "RTÉ's commitment to transparency and the process and procedures". The DG knew these processes and approvals, and he sat in that room with the Minister and the chair last Monday and said nothing either. He said nada. Does the Minister have confidence in the director general, given that he sat in that room and said nothing on the role of the board in the exist packages process at that meeting last week?
