Did Ms Forbes every hear the adage that he who plays the piper calls the tune? I will be able to ask parliamentary questions to ascertain that, but it was unfair, unbalanced and the one narrative, with nothing or nobody else involved. Ms Forbes is not answering the questions, but I cannot make her do so. I am very unhappy.
With regard to coverage of the fleadh, it is a wonderful event. I go to most of them. My family takes part in them and we have sadly missed them for the past couple of years. Why would RTÉ not cover that? I am not talking about engaging with ways RTÉ could nurture the language. It is bound to be in breach through the content it has provided. What is it doing, meaningfully, to correct that?
