Ms Dee Forbes:

There are a couple of things in what the Deputy said there. He is right that RTÉ did have a couple of local stations a number of years ago. However, we were regulated out of that market. We were no longer allowed to be in that market. We were also regulated out of local radio. Our remit, therefore, is a national remit. Local radios are local. That was done outside of our control.
