Early in her opening statement, Ms Ní Raghallaigh addressed the issue of a fragmented media landscape. People consume their news differently. Ms Éilis O'Hanlon, on the back of the Sunday Independentlast week, had an extensive piece. The headline screamed, "RTÉ faces a simple choice: revolution or the slide into oblivion". She spoke about the different generations and people like my generation, whose week is bookended by RTÉ, starting with "Morning Ireland" and ending with "The Late Late Show". Ms Ní Raghallaigh said nine in ten adults access RTÉ on a weekly basis. I would like to know, from RTÉ's research, how many people in their late teens access RTÉ and how the new director general has impressed upon Ms Ní Raghallaigh his plans for the future of RTÉ, retaining its importance but capturing the audience coming up the line.
