Is there analysis available of what we are looking at? I do not refer to who is watching RTE or TV3 and so on. I am sick and tired of realclearpolitics.comand I cannot wait to see the back of it. Hopefully, that will happen after tomorrow. I spend my time on that website or on The Guardianwebsite. Is there a baseline analysis available of where we get our news and what we are looking at to help us with the assessment?

Given the BAI's most recent report stated the funding of public service broadcasting needed to be increased and it was not, on a scale of zero to five where zero means we are reasonably okay but we need to look at this while five means it is starting to impinge on the ability of public sector broadcasters to deliver and it is a critical problem, how would Mr. O'Keeffe assess the urgency of addressing the funding crisis?

If the advertising revenue has gone from €300 million to €200 million and licence fee revenue is static or has fallen, how serious is that issue for RTE and TG4, whatever about the other players in the industry?
