I thank Mr Scanlon. I want to get clarification on a number of points. LOITV is one aspect of how we watch football on television. Another aspect is free-to-air. RTÉ had a long-standing relationship with the League of Ireland and it has gone to Virgin Media. When the director general of RTÉ was here a couple of weeks ago, he described it as a bolt from the blue and that he was not expecting it to go to Virgin Media. Does Mr. Scanlon know if it had to do with the business case? Was it a money issue? Who was on the negotiating team he was dealing with?
