Thank you. My next question is for you, Ms Howard. Obviously, you were at some of our hearings when all of this started.

Mr. O'Rourke has expressed his view. I appreciate that Ms Howard has been a board member through the last phase of RTÉ, which had a non-relationship. As I mentioned, there was almost an effort to not give the information to disable the board from doing the job for which its members were appointed. Can Ms Howard speak about how environment has changed?
