First and foremost, I welcome RTÉ to the committee. We have been waiting some time for this meeting to happen, but all the same, it is welcome. I welcome Ms Forbes and Mr. Collins.

I have a couple of issues that I would like to raise and questions I would like to ask. First, I would like to focus on the financial circumstances within RTÉ's organisation. I refer to advertising. Could Ms Forbes or Mr. Collins provide a quick breakdown in terms of sporting advertising, that is, advertising from sports events that RTÉ operates? How much revenue is generated from doing that? I will follow up with a subsequent question.
