Regarding broadcasting, while it would not be appropriate for me to interfere with programming issues which are operational matters for RTÉ and other broadcasters, I point the Deputy to the report of the Future of Media Commission. One of its key recommendations was to develop a strategic plan for sports broadcasting. It was developed by Sport Ireland with public service media and public service content providers. Coimisiún na Meán will establish a strategic working group looking at sports that need increased visibility. We envisage Coimisiún na Meán setting up that strategic working group next year. That will be positive.
