Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion
Mr. Rory Coveney:
The question of how public broadcasting is funded is a separate one. In the context of the investment needed by the audiovisual sector in Ireland, this could provide a substantial stimulus and could support the creation of Irish programming. I am thinking particularly of expensive programmes that are hard to sustain in sectors like drama and animation, both of which have a good track record here but are starved of the investment they need.
