European Media Freedom Act: Discussion

I get the point. I have a couple of quick questions, including that general question; we will disagree on the question of the experts on the Future of Media Commission report. The Government accepted 45 of the 50 recommendations. It is up to the Government to make decisions, whether one agrees with them or not. It is the Government that makes decisions. We can argue back and forth about the model that would be used but it leads to the question about whether we believe it more appropriate that RTÉ should look at becoming a publisher-broadcaster model, which may be more effective also in terms of accountability and its finance side, rather than its existing model.
