Not very many, but I had agreed to do it this time. I had declined to appear twice in the last two months. On the Tuesday, we had decided that I should come forward, because I had been calling for transparency. I was conscious in relation to RTÉ that I was trying to leave key moments that had to do with the DG, or with reports, for the DG to speak on them. I had signalled to the DG and the former chair that as they were doing media, I would do media at the end of the day.
