I think we need to focus on non-information as well, and the issues that just do not get covered. I do not think the system is capable of bringing that out.

On religious affairs broadcasting and RTÉ's plans to deal with external partners, is it the intention to continue with the broadcasting of daily mass on RTÉ News Now, or Channel 21, which I know many people have found very helpful? Is it at the stage, or can it be gotten to the stage where liturgical events that are being broadcast are actually going out live, as distinct from programmes with a half-hour delay? For obvious reasons, it means a lot to people to know that what they are tuning into is live or as live can be. I understand that has not always been the case.
