Ms Emma O'Kelly:

That very much depends on what goes on beyond the new director general, who has a job to do. That is why we are here and very happy to be talking to the politicians. All this goes back to the underfunding of RTÉ and the absolute requirement for a proper funding stream to be put in place. That is what we want to focus on. I have confidence in Kevin Bakhurst but that does not mean I will agree with him. He has a job to do. I want the job to be a very different one; I do not want to see one fifth of the workforce gone from RTÉ. This is decimating it. It is not one in ten jobs, but one in five, that will go in the organisation and I do not see any point in that. I stress that everything we went through in the scandal has nothing to do with the size of RTÉ and I see no rationale for the cuts.
