Ms Tr?ona Quill:

The Minister did respond in October 2022. She referred to the independence of RTÉ in this regard and in relation to operational activities generally. She drew attention to the fact that her intervention in this process, as Minister, would not be appropriate. She also said that the Department was aware that RTÉ is committed to working with the RTÉ trade union group to achieve a fair outcome. That was in October 2022.
