Ms Dee Forbes:

The Deputy is aware that the future of media commission is now in session. It has been tasked with a very wide remit to come up with a funding model and to look at the viability of the future of Irish media. It is a very important point in time for the media industry. We all would argue that having a strong, independent Irish voice is vital but it is all in the mix and all there right now. Whatever decisions come from that are going to have an impact. That is what we are waiting to hear from.
