Cormac Devlin: I thank the Cathaoirleach. That is a fair summary of the lengthy discussion we had. This offer is too late. It should have come in much sooner to the committee if it was going to be offered in the first place. It is not as if RTÉ has not had ample opportunity in this committee room to divulge and to engage with the committee on how to proceed on this matter. This note of 7 May is...
