Mr. Jim Jennings:

That is making it very difficult for us to break even this year. It took us two years to find a way to replace our London correspondent, which we are doing, but we had to do it by finding cutbacks in our European office, by renting out floor space in Belfast and finding a space in ITN in the UK. We have to adapt and move with the times in respect of these changes.

If the Senator is saying that the Department could come up with €250,000 to pay for long wave in the UK, I could take that decision back to the executive board in RTE, where this was discussed, and the RTE board, where this decision was ratified some time ago. If and when that happens we can deal with it.
