Broadcasting Authority of Ireland Financial Statements 2011 (18 Apr 2013) Paschal Donohoe: May I interject to ask Mr. Dunning one question? One reason I bought up this matter was that the committee has been involved in other discussions regarding the applicability of Revenue Commissioners' rules and the disagreements that took place in that regard.

I thank Mr. Dunning for his responses. I will now turn to Mr. O'Keeffe.
