I am really conscious of time because there are only 30 seconds left. I have one other quick point to get in and I might get in a second. We had RTÉ in here recently. This is connected to the general scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill from a sporting perspective. Would TV3 ever consider looking at a 24-hour sports channel? Obviously, things would have to be put on repeat but there is definitely a gap in the market. TG4 does great work in respect of the GAA. It is absolutely fantastic and should be acknowledged but there is a significant opportunity to have a dedicated channel for sport, whether it is operated by TG4, Virgin Media or RTÉ. Is that something Virgin Media would consider having a look at?
