I have a quick question for the Department. The taxpayer is funding RTÉ out of Vote 33 to the tune of €200 million or whatever it is every year. Does the Department have oversight of this review of those reporting mechanisms in order that it can be satisfied on behalf of the taxpayer that the mistakes of the past will not be repeated? What proactive steps has the Department taken in that regard?
