In the interest of transparency and good faith, I must put on record for the committee that I am a former employee of RTÉ. I spent 20 years in the organisation as a staff member but I am asking questions today as a Member of the Oireachtas and member of this committee. I do not gain materially from doing so and am asking all of my questions in good faith.

I want to talk about the bogus self-employment contracts and the legacy issues. It might be good if my discussion is with Ms Cusack. On the 655 cases that went to the Department, the opening remarks suggested 82% of them have been concluded. That is very definite language. Can Ms Cusack tell me what “concluded” means?
