I concur with the Chairman. I have made my proposal, not in an adversarial way but, as the Chairman said, to seek clarity on the issue as there is confusion. We have both met people from Cork who are directly affected by it. They have a genuine passion and interest in orchestral provision in RTÉ and Ireland. I am aware that Deputy Eugene Murphy feels the same way. The proposal has been made to bring clarity and certainty to the matter to try to enhance the debate on it.
