Mr. Terence O'Rourke:

That is the Senator's job. Journalists in RTÉ will hold people to account, so the committee should hold us to account as well. I appreciate that. In the review of HR, fees and pay in RTÉ we met the expert advisory group. One of the things it said to us was not to rush the implementation of this as it will take time. There are deeply embedded cultural issues it has to deal with. Their advice was to do it thoroughly, properly, take our time and not rush the fences too quickly. I appreciate there will be an impatience from people to get everything done, but it is important we get it done properly and thoroughly. That is what we will be doing.
