Obviously, Mr. Bakhurst will be aware that our committee is this week publishing our report on the future of media. It is more than just a report on RTÉ. As Mr. Bakhurst will also be aware, we have been addressing this issue for a year and we will be talking in more general terms about the bigger picture in this regard. The Government will be moving to make a decision soon. Mr. Bakhurst has already expressed a view in respect of multiannual funding and our committee will be supporting a move towards the provision of such funding, which is critical for the sector. Is Mr. Bakhurst prepared to express a preference regarding the model that should be used?
