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

Future Business Model Plans and Long-term Vision for the Media Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Celine Clarke:

I want to acknowledge that during Covid-19 we had to pivot our Getting Started Digital Literacy Class to be online. RTÉ scheduled in the "Today " programme a couple of sessions on "how to". This involved how to connect to the Internet on a mobile phone. RTÉ followed a curriculum we had created and broadcast that.

That was very useful and beneficial to us, and we were able to tell people when it was on. It was accessible for them to tune in because they could access their TV at home. They were able to work with it, so it became an educational space. We were very grateful for that opportunity. It would be welcome if things like that could continue.
