It is frustrating for me that there have been leaks in the press. I do not know where they are coming from. A Government party Senator who spoke here earlier criticised those leaks. It appears we have a three party Government running in three different directions. A considerable amount of public moneys was allocated to that commission. It cost €420,000 to set up that commission to produce a report. I call on the Minister to publish The Future of Media Commission report.

I commend RTÉ on working with others in the industry on drama and sport and with Virgin Media television to ensure that sport remains free-to-air. On the RTÉ player, I am one of the people who combines subscription services with the RTÉ player through the Apple television box. Following on from the Committee of Public Accounts hearings last week, how much funding will be required to bring the RTÉ player to a world class place? I acknowledge the difficulties around live television streaming online, but how much will be required to bring RTÉ play to world class place?
