Future of the Media Sector: Discussion

Mr. Paul Farrell:

From a very simple point of view, and we have said it all along, particularly through the Future of Media Commission, our main gripe, for the want of a better word, is that there is no transparency and accountability as to where public sector funding goes against public service media content. I think it is in the Future of Media Commission report and we ask that there should be transparency in how licence fee money goes to create public service content. Commercial money goes to create commercial content, but the other has never been transparent.
