Thousands of my constituents and people around the country were on a €200 or €300 per week pandemic payment. Did Mr. Tubridy or his agent between them have any doubts about the merits of that or the credibility of seeking to make up that €75,000 at that particular point? Mr. Tubridy presented "The Late Late Show" and provided a good service. I watched it because it was good viewing right throughout Covid-19. I acknowledge that the performances were great given the circumstances. However, did Mr. Tubridy have any doubts about the credibility or merits of looking for that and about his own credibility?
