I think some of Deputy Mattie McGrath's earlier comments were unfair. There were a number of independent reports commissioned by the Minister, and I was happy about how thorough they were and the wide range of recommendations. I think the challenge from my perspective is basically about how quickly you get to implement all of those recommendations. It is critical, in particular on the HR side, that there is negotiation with the TUG. I want to recognise the work being done by the board, the director-general and the entire RTÉ organisation to try to address this. We will not always be happy that there is progress.
