Challenges Facing the Broadcasting Sector as a Result of Covid-19: Discussion
Mr. John Purcell:
Our basic one would be the recognition of the public service role we provide, such as we provided throughout Covid-19 but which we have been supplying for a long time, the recognition that this is increasingly difficult in the environment in which we find ourselves, and the enactment of the principle that public money can be provided for broadcasting for the public good regardless of whether the company providing it is a semi-State body such as RTÉ or an independent commercial entity such as the members of IBI.
