I thank Ms O'Keeffe. I note the Minister of State, Deputy Breen, wrote a letter to Lyric FM staff stating that as part of the €10 million funding announced today the board of RTÉ has been asked to reconsider or defer the decision to relocate Lyric FM from Limerick until the new commission on broadcasting reports next autumn. In fact, it is not reporting next autumn. It will report in 2021 as far as I can see. One arm of government is saying RTÉ cannot close Lyric FM because it received €10 million. I know all of the Deputies and Senators from the region are very concerned about the situation and it would be a popular move to adjust it to whatever is possible to retain at least a majority of it in Limerick.
