Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Broadcasting Authority of Ireland: Discussion with Chairperson-Designate

Ms Celene Craig:

That would have to be looked at again. That would be a matter for the relevant Departments but I understand that currently this exercise has not actually been completed. We would expect that over time it may well go beyond 180 staff. The analogy with the Data Protection Commission's office would be a very close one given the extent of the European Union functions that would be assigned to the media commission. It will also depend on whether there is an independent complaints mechanism, which would very significant implications for staffing. Again, that matter has not been determined as yet.
