Ms Dee Forbes:

The committee is probably aware RTE has an obligation to come up with a five year plan with the BAI and we are working on this. It will be published towards the end of next year. Leading into this will be the longer-term vision for RTE and we are very much across it now. There is much work to be done on it. What we want to come up with is a plan that is a living breathing document which we will be able to deliver over a period of time. As the committee is aware, the industry is evolving and the last thing we need is to produce a document which will be out of touch as soon as we write it. We need to engage in a process, as we are at present, to create a strategy that is deliverable and will have ambition and innovation at its very heart, because this is what RTE is about and what we want to be about in the future.
