However, €3.6 million is a significant write-down. I respect the work Mr. Bakhurst is doing but he will understand my concern that he, as director general, was not informed of the issue internally.

My next question is for Mr. Ó Coigligh. Is it correct that the Department was not alerted to this problem at any stage until it sent its request about it to RTÉ?
