To follow on from what Mr. Ó Síocháin is saying about conditionality with whatever funding there is, when it comes to State funding, I always believe any State funding should be conditional on having proper remuneration, protections and recognition at the highest level.
To go back slightly to RTÉ, the redundancy exodus, the bogus self-employment and the morale, what is the state of play now with the whole bogus self-employment? RTÉ was to compensate workers. Has it managed to do that in any shape or form? Where is that at? I remember the director general said at the time that if RTÉ basically fixed everyone up the way they should be, it would be bankrupt. I do not know where it is at.
