I do, yes please, but I am trying to emphasise that I have absolutely no faith in what we are at here, what we have been at and the big hullabaloo tomorrow launching the report and we will all go off for our summer holidays and RTÉ will go on their merry way because they are untouchable. They have proved to be untouchable. Nobody can have that much money owed in tax and still operate as a business. Reckless trading has to be invoked on the board and the previous board and it is still reckless trading. That balance of €15.2 million is not settled with Revenue. Nobody else in the country has the luxury of being able to find a way to settle with Revenue. They pay up or they get massive penalties and fines. Whoever wants to answer that, I would appreciate it.
