Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

A misstatement of fees, I think, is how they describe what you keep saying is false accounting.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

And you keep saying Ciarán Lynch.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

Ciarán Lynch was the Labour TD, I think.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

Adrian Lynch is the person you were talking about.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

Sorry, Adrian Lynch.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

Yeah, but again, a misstatement of fees.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

Ger?

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

All right, we'll let your peacock go back to work.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

Yeah, and look, we shouldn't be excited at the fact that great public service broadcasting happens on lots of different platforms in this country.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

And it's not just the purview of RTE.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

I guess the difference with RTE and the reason we're talking about it, it's not just because we're RTE, but because it's the one that the public have a stake in.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

Through the licence fee and through taxpayer backing as well, exchequer funding, to a greater degree than other public service broadcasters.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

So that's why maybe it's a little different from all of the above.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

Let me bring in Áine, who's on the line as well.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

Áine, have you faith that RTE now is a transparent organisation?

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

Well, T.D.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

's salaries and allowances and travel allowances and secretarial allowances and all that are a matter of public record.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

So, I mean, maybe what politicians, particularly government politicians, might say to that is there's a much more robust public procurement process in Ireland.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

What you're describing certainly might have been the case in the past.

Liveline
"What do we do with RTÉ?"

When it comes to RT, then what additional information do you think should be on paper?
