I know lessons were learnt all around, indeed by this committee and other committees, in respect of the handing of that.

I wanted to ask other questions on the outstanding legal cases but I am going to skip it for a minute because I want to go back to the broadcasting workers. It is really ironic that we have workers working in such conditions broadcasting democracy. They are broadcasting this committee here today. The irony of that cannot escape any of us. The Houses of the Oireachtas Commission is made up of the witnesses, elected Members, the Ceann Comhairle and the Cathaoirleach of the Seanad. Is that right?
