Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

No, as we monitor it when the report comes in, particularly when there are ongoing or running stories about major issues. The abortion issue is a current example, as it is highly sensitive.

We will closely monitor it to ensure we have a fair range of voices that is as representative as possible. Sometimes there are individuals who we might not have considered. Sometimes they will say, "Have you considered this viewpoint or that viewpoint?" and we have to admit we have not, so we have to include that somewhere along the way. Obviously, there is a huge output at RTE news and current affairs ranging from "Prime Time", the Six One News and the nine o'clock news through to the "Late Debate" and the "Morning Edition". There are many different outlets and we must try to take a view across the piece that there is a fair representation of views and of individuals. I am always happy to consider an issue, or Deirdre is if people go to her about it.
