"Home and Away" was what I grew up on in college. We could not get enough of it. At the same time, though, we are in a changing world and people can record programmes if they want to watch them back. In most instances, they have the devices to record them. There is only so much of one programme we can take. Has the level of repeats on RTÉ 1 and RTÉ 2 been discussed? Surely these slots could be used for some new, fresh and original programming instead? Can a case be made at the board meeting for a new approach to be taken by the new director general and the different programming staff? I refer to perhaps taking a new approach and reducing the number of repeats. Genuinely, this point has been raised with me on a few occasions. I would like to hear Ms Ní Raghallaigh's thoughts on this.
