Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Editorial Review of The Frontline Presidential Debate: Discussion with RTE

11:25 am

Mr. Noel Curran:

I will take Deputy McGrath's question and let Mr. Bakhurst look to the future. As to whether I was there on the night, I greeted all of the candidates coming in on the night. Given the confusion around roles, the last thing any programme would need is a director general standing around the gallery or a studio area when a programme is on air. There are clearly defined roles in terms of what a director general does and what the layers of management and editorial management below that do.

In terms of it being billed as the game changer and the specific questions asked by the review team, I will ask Mr. Carson and Mr. Morrison to answer Deputy McGrath's specific questions on that.
