Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

It is new territory. Dan Healy, who is the fantastic leader of 2FM, and I have spoken a fair bit. He has also spoken to other members of the team here. This is a real opportunity to refresh 2FM, to bring through new talent and to give opportunities inside and outside RTÉ. Some people are already getting those opportunities and are doing really well. We will come up with a fresh schedule. In my view, 2FM is a really important station for us in terms of connecting with younger audiences that are not always easy to connect with.

I should say that this has clearly been difficult and destabilising for the team on 2FM because they worked really closely with these presenters, but they have done a fantastic job. They are brilliant. I always enjoy going over there because they are full of energy. They are full of ideas. Even with people leaving, they were asking should they be doing a bit more on social media and move their efforts a bit that way, which they should be for young audiences. This is a real opportunity.
