Mr. Robert Shortt:

I do not mean to make a joke here but in RTÉ the joke is that the RTÉ Guideis the perk. You might get a free RTÉ Guide every week but that is about it and, I might add, you might not get the ChristmasRTÉ Guide. Staff generally do not have any sight of what has been described here today. Having listened, I know a lot more about a barter account now than I did back in March, and I can see why such an account works in the commercial world. but it was something I had no knowledge of prior to this.
