Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Moya Doherty:

I concur entirely with what the chair has said. We have had an ongoing debate about the future of public service media. We need to have a focused debate about what type of public service the country wants. Clearly, the balance of power shifted to the commercial side. That gives power to those who bring in big commercial revenue and audiences. That must change. The system is broken. The governance is broken and in some ways that makes for broken people making broken decisions.
