Ms Katherine Licken:

As I mentioned earlier, RTÉ and the broadcasting function come under the remit of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media as constructed last year. These issues predate RTÉ coming under the remit of the Department. It is key that where issues arise, they are identified, that the systems are in place to identify them and that they are dealt with swiftly once identified. The issue in regard to the contracts, as I understand and through our engagement with RTÉ and the Committee of Public Accounts engagement with RTE, the matter has been dealt with with Revenue and is continuing to be dealt with by the Department of Social Protection.
