I will hone in on the responsibility of RTÉ as a commercial semi-State body. Is Mr. Deans saying that to some degree RTÉ's hands are tied and that it has to maximise the revenue it would get? RTÉ needs to be funded and that is a live debate at the moment. What discretion does Mr. Deans have and what protocols are in place to give him, as commercial director, the discretion to decide what is and is not appropriate?
