Mr. Ryan or Deputy Costello may answer this question about access to written materials. In comparison with other State agencies, such as the National Library of Ireland and its remit and obligations, is there anything relevant from the legislation underpinning that? I want to see as much access as possible. I entirely support that. My question, however, is whether we need legislation in terms of what RTÉ is doing. I am quite happy with the academic access provided and how RTÉ protects international property rights. It is about what more we can do. I am always conscious of the pressure on an organisation when obligations are placed on it when it does not necessarily have the staffing or resources to meet some of the obligations. Can a comparison be drawn with other State agencies?
