That is in train.

Correspondence No. 1765 B is from Ms Dee Forbes, director general of RTÉ, dated 30 November 2018, and provides an update requested by the committee on the Eversheds Sutherland report. I want to read this into the record so people who are listening will understand what is in the letter.

In keeping with the Eversheds Sutherland review, the detailed analysis continues on a case by case basis. To assist in completing the analysis phase, discussions will commence over the coming weeks with those concerned and this process will continue into the New Year. As you can appreciate each individual case has its own set of circumstances and full due diligence is required in reaching the appropriate determination as was communicated on publication of the review in June.

A policy has been developed which will take effect in January 2019 and is currently undergoing internal review. We will share with you once finalised.
