Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

We will publish those salaries in the annual report. They are on similar money to the other people on the leadership team. As the Senator will know, we did not replace the head of strategy, so the leadership team has stayed the same size. I wanted to split that content role into two halves because the content area of RTÉ is significant in size - 800-plus - and I did not feel that one person was able to manage TV and radio and the player and the audio app and manage people properly and communicate with people properly.

This is going to be key to delivering the strategy for the future of the organisation. We needed to have two people driving those two areas, audio and video, so that we can deliver for audiences properly over the course of this strategy and drive forward into the future in an ambitious way.
