I have a brief question and must apologise as I have to rush because I am supposed to be chairing a committee in one minute. I presume the RTÉ archive also covers the Raidió na Gaeltachta archive because it is huge in volume. I saw it for myself and there are more than 50 years of recordings, many of which were never aired, which is the key point, but they were obviously edited. Deputy Costello also mentioned TG4 and obviously, the advantage that station has is nearly everything it has is in digital format already because it came to be in a digital era, which hopefully means it can be archived a lot quicker and be a more user-friendly archive. I have to rush but if I get a chance, I will be back.
