I hope to do the same in reply to Deputy Burton. As stated, the oversight group may task working groups to report on specific issues as the need arises. These groups may include members of the oversight group together with other individuals as appropriate. Working groups may be tasked to: design and make recommendations on the appropriate process for the transfer of the National Symphony Orchestra from RTÉ to the National Concert Hall; identify which staff to transfer in accordance with the rules governing the transfer of undertakings; formally engage and consult the employees of the National Symphony Orchestra, as the Deputy mentioned; finalise the costs involved in the transfer, having regard to the recommendations in the report; and identify any existing central corporate supports provided by RTÉ and not subject to transfer, and the costs thereof. The membership of the group may vary depending on the nature of the issue under discussion. All working groups will report to the oversight group. I am satisfied that all parties are represented and that all stakeholders and relevant persons are being engaged in the process.
