Does the Department do any monitoring of RTE? As the national broadcaster, are there criteria under which it has to operate to demonstrate it is broadcasting in the interests of the country in the widest sense, without having too much political control or whatever? There is always going to be tension between politicians of every hue and the media. Does the Department do any monitoring in that regard?
