That is understandable, but why should we be offering a very generous exit package? Mr. Bakhurst might say something on that. I do not think we should to somebody whom we, as an Oireachtas committee, have asked to come here to discuss an important part of what we have spent the past 15 months talking about. He has not come in, notwithstanding medical advice. Should RTÉ, as an organisation, be offering him a generous exit package? Figures I have heard bandied about include €400,000. Mr. Bakhurst might confirm what it is. Is it his view that it is correct that that should be paid while that individual has not come in here to the Oireachtas committee to answer questions from us, the representatives of the people, the taxpayer?
