I want a full debate on the RTÉ debacle. There are many thousands of decent workers in RTÉ. This scandal is going on. We saw how the board and the executive board suspended Dee Forbes. Then she was dismissed and she is blatantly refusing to come before any committee. I want, as happens to people who are unable or who do not wish to pay their licence because of the poor service of RTÉ, Ms Forbes to be arrested and charged and to get the Garda to question her if she will not come before this House.
The people are aghast at what is going on at the top levels in some organisations. Of course, it is-----
