And that there might be other issues rising.

Now, RTÉ are denying this and the board are saying, oh, no, it was just a routine meeting.

So we were watching that space.

So he seemed to be a bit annoyed about that, but that seems to be forgotten now.

This issue about Sean Rocks was brought up last night by Patrick O'Neill and I'm expecting him to come up to the Rocks Committee today.
