Not at all. We know what the Eversheds report is about. We know that hundreds upon hundreds of workers still have not got their rightful entitlements. We know that the director general has said in front of either our committee or the public accounts committee that RTÉ had set aside €20 million to cover some of the expenses of the misclassification of workers and the denial of their rights as workers. That is a significant amount but we do not know if that is just to cover the PRSI entitlements. There is no mention of pension entitlements or anything else the workers were denied.

I would like to hear from SIPTU too. As a union, what protection did it afford, given that decades on, these workers are still in the same precarious situation? If I may ask-----
