Public Accounts Committee
2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 2 - Department of An Taoiseach

Mr. Martin Fraser:
I think it is a possibility. It is a very obvious matter to think about. Obviously, I did not see this email until I got the report, but there are a couple of angles to this. I also said in my report that we have to be careful not to have a chilling factor because the media are increasingly moving to sponsored content. That is how the world works. This is a profound public policy issue. If we do not think about the financial health of our media, there will be all sorts of negative consequences.
