Ms Moya Doherty:

It is nice to see the Senator. I am not in favour of a publisher-broadcaster model for RTÉ. We need to enhance the output of RTÉ, as well as with the independent sector. Publisher-broadcasters in the past may not have held on to their audience as RTÉ would and would want to do. I would look more closely at the proposal this joint committee's predecessors made in 2017 on the model for collection of the licence fee. It would provide certainty for RTÉ and allow it to plan ahead.
