In that context, I will raise an issue for the wider panel. We touched on this already when sporting programmes and matches were mentioned. In the hurling championship matches leading up to the all-Ireland final, including many of the matches shown on media, there is major input from a certain fast food company based in a county that is likely to win the all-Ireland. We all know which company I am talking about. This seems to be a cloudy issue. I have so many points I want to make, I am getting a little muddled. Will the witnesses comment on the fact that the broadcasting code seems to allow fast food companies and a particular massive fast food company to advertise heavily during programmes? Sponsorship is a different issue and I understand that. What do the witnesses have to say about that?
