I want to ask the Secretary General first about the issues I raised regarding the miscalculation of workers or effective bogus employment at RTÉ and the pay disparity whereby workers are paid less for working through the medium of Irish. Ms Licken said her Department had no knowledge of those issues and that they predated her time in the Department since 2020, but is it not correct to say that the broadcasting staff had transferred into her Department?
