I thank Mr. Farrell, Mr. Esslemont and Ms Ní Chaoindealbháin. The famous saying, "Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam", is very important. Diversity and plurality are important in the world we live in now. We know of the media moguls who are controlling half the world, if not elections.

On funding, representatives from RTÉ told the committee last week that the organisation had underspent by €20 million on the film and music sectors. There is some money that could be used in this area. What diversity and plurality can TG4 and Virgin Media bring to the media landscape?
