Mr. Dunning should explain to members what was involved. I should note it was a voluntary disclosure by the Department in this regard.

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 am interested in understanding the timeframe involved in all this, from the time when someone first raised his or her hand to...

I thank Mr. Dunning for his responses. I will now turn to Mr. O'Keeffe. During this morning's discussion, I have found it hugely instructive to examine the list of projects the broadcasting fund is involved in supporting, which appears in appendix 2. It really brings home the diversity of...

Mr. O'Keeffe is telling me that when the authority makes available a grant to an organisation or body, it expects the work for which the grant is being made available to be done and dusted within 12 months. No?

The authority makes available a grant to such an organisation and the objective is that within 12 months from the date of issue, it will have signed a contract with someone else to either show or broadcast the piece of work.

At present, how does the authority deal with how...
