Ms Dee Forbes:

As we mentioned, under this plan, every service that RTÉ is operating will take some pain because we have to act. We have to look very differently at the models and how we work, especially our music channels. For example, we said that we could no longer sustain our digital audio broadcasting, DAB, stations because there is no policy for DAB in this country. We have maintained stations over the years but we simply cannot do so any longer. All of our stations have different objectives, remits and obligations. While I appreciate that Lyric FM is cost-effective, in the grand scheme of things, everything we are looking at right now has to be even more cost-effective given that we have €100 million less revenue than we had previously. Everything is and must be under consideration.
