Rose Conway-Walsh: Right. I just think it is very important that this is done. Earlier, Mr. Bakhurst spoke about staff feeding their views back to him and the new channels in place in this regard. Was there a commonality in the feedback coming from the staff? What are the three biggest concerns staff have?

Rose Conway-Walsh: Generally, in terms of concerns they have or issues they are bringing to Mr. Bakhurst. I refer to the three biggest problems the staff have and how Mr. Bakhurst will address them.

Rose Conway-Walsh: Some of the RTÉ staff have reported heavy-handed treatment by RTÉ's lawyers, which has caused severe stress. Were workers being treated like that? That is the information coming back to us.

Rose Conway-Walsh: I will finish up by referring to Wild Atlantic Studios, which Deputy Ring also mentioned. I do not know if Mr. Bakhurst is familiar with it. It is in the gteic hub in Belmullet. It is a broadcasting studio and a film and television production company. It works with partners in Germany and throughout the EU. That would be a really good partnership that perhaps Mr. Bakhurst might look at...

Rose Conway-Walsh: I want to say that the RTÉ radio app is atrocious when compared to BBC Sounds, the LBC radio app or the app in any other place. If the money could be allocated to get that sorted out-----

Rose Conway-Walsh: Okay. Thank you. I received a call today about television licences being demanded in respect of the pyrite houses. These houses are being knocked down and the televisions have been put away in boxes, yet the television licence is still being charged. Does RTÉ think it is fair to take that money on a direct debit? There is still a demand on people to pay a television licence even...

Rose Conway-Walsh: -----grossly unfair to charge you. Obviously, we advocate for multi-annual Exchequer funding, which is linked with the Comptroller and Auditor General. We think that is going to be the future and the best way for us to move forward. The witnesses talked earlier about the safeguards, and safeguards absolutely have to be in there. Is there any particular safeguards that the witnesses...
