Thank you, Minister, and your staff. I know it has been a long evening and I appreciate your honesty. I also put on the record Siún Ní Raghallaigh's commitment and what she has given to RTÉ in 15 months. I do not know her personally, but listening to people talk about the lady she seems a person of great integrity and honesty who did her very best to bring transparency to RTÉ. I may come back to some of Deputy Ó Murchú's points, but first on transparency and openness in RTÉ, will you now support Sinn Féin's motion to bring RTÉ under the Comptroller and Auditor General and the public accounts committee, knowing what you know now about the lack of transparency and openness in the organisation? I ask for a yes or no on that, please.
