One would imagine a public service broadcaster that is publicly funded could not have discrimination or pay disparity within its own workers who work either through the media of English or Irish. That is good to have that confirmed.

In her statement, Ms Craig talked about multi-annual funding arrangements, but she did not say what they were. Could she outline those for us?

If I am correct, TG4 is looking for between €9 million and €10 million per year over the next four years. How will not getting that funding affect TG4’s production sector goals to make sure that the Irish language public service is to the fore in modern-day Ireland? How will that lack of funding hamper all of TG4’s goals as such?

The representatives from the Community Television Association outlined the importance of community television to local communities and the inclusion and diversity that it brings to them and all of that. They gave us their list of asks. My perception is that they got the bothered ear off the BAI. The BAI stated it was very supportive of CTA and community radio, and I am sure Mr. Murray and Ms Bowell are glad to hear that. However, in a practical sense, whether it is funding and other measures to ensure that they are able to deliver the way they want to deliver to communities, would they agree with BAI in that sense that they welcome the support but the actual practical and financial support is not being delivered thus far?
