I have a few questions and then we will have a second round of approximately four minutes.

My question is for Screen Ireland and RTÉ, because they can be more open in a certain format. They are not the regulatory authority or the Department, in other words. They will get one chance perhaps to say this and I will get one chance to ask it. What do they see as the main weakness of this legislation that they would like the Oireachtas, through this process, to concentrate on and change? They should forever hold their breath if they do not say it now. Will RTÉ answer first?
