I am not getting an answer to that.

The cap placed on the level of contribution received from the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection in lieu of the free TV licence, as part of the household package, amounted to a reduction of €5 million in RTÉ’s funding for the first year and has subsequently risen. Has Ms Forbes calculated how much was lost by RTÉ with this measure? In another discussion on transport, one finds the full amount of free travel that Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann and others give to the public under the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection scheme does not come back to those companies. Has RTÉ calculated how much it has lost as a result of this?
