Mr. Pádhraic Ó Ciardha:

Ba mhaith liom é seo a rá go han-sciobtha i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla. Má tá aon amhras ar aon duine faoi luach chraoltóireacht na seirbhíse poiblí, ba cheart dóibh labhairt nó éisteacht le duine atá ina chónaí thar sáile. Anybody who doubts the value of public service broadcasting only has to listen to the opinions of family, relations, colleagues and friends who live abroad to learn what public service broadcasting means to them as they listen to the radio and watch television, as Gaeilge agus as Béarla, daily. Tuigeann siad sin an tábhacht atá leis. Sílim go bhfuil sé an-tábhachtach go dtuigfeadh na finnéithe an tábhacht a leagan an pobal nó an diaspora sin atá ina gcónaí thar sáile ar an rud iontach atáimid ag déanamh. We are good at it and should continue to improve rather than become afraid.
