Mr. Adrian Lynch:
I can answer that. Typically, how talent contracts are negotiated is that they are led by the CFO, with input from legal. Then, regarding the hours and services provided, I would input into that. In terms of talent choices, the director of content would input into that. In terms of Ryan Tubridy's deal and who was aware of it, regarding the terms of the deal and how much he would be paid, the director of content, the CFO, legal, the director general and I would be the people who would be aware.
