I may have to leave the meeting shortly as I have tabled a question to the Taoiseach, which is due to be taken in the Dáil. Mr. Pitt said that INM has no interest in purchasing radio stations. Why did it look at purchasing Newstalk? What was the strategic imperative for purchasing Newstalk if now, as he says, it is not a strategic imperative?
