Staff engagement is an aspect I have some concern about. RTÉ has written to us and said there is a new staff consultative forum. There is a huge amount of outsourcing proposed. There is also quite a lot of decentralisation proposed. It is very difficult to accept there is comprehensive engagement when we are not hearing a serious pushback on that. I am concerned that this engagement involves more or less saying what is happening rather than true consultation where people are actually being listened to. I do not know what the shape of RTÉ will be. With the strategy it is proposing, it seems very fragmented.
