In his submission, Mr. de Spáinn said TG4's funding should be increased in line with that of Welsh TV and that RTÉ should double its current proportion of funding allocated for Irish language services. How confident of this is he? Another ongoing issue that possibly speaks to the way the Irish language can be sidelined or not put on an equal footing is an issue I have raised many times with RTÉ, that is, pay disparity between those working for the public service broadcaster working through the Irish language and those working for it through the English language. There was the promise of a review by RTÉ. It now transpires that it has rolled back on the specific aspects we asked it to look into. What is Mr. de Spáinn's opinion on that?
