Vote 29 - Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
If I could intervene, I think one of the reasons for the decision to remove RTÉ from the remit of the Comptroller and Auditor General was to allow it a certain amount of commercial freedom in order that it could make payments and not be subject to the same level of scrutiny as might be appropriate to a body that is within my remit.
