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

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:

I can talk a little on that now. What I would say about the location is that everything is under consideration in terms of the strategy. One of the things we are focusing on is moving more staff and production out of Dublin. We are totally focused on what value we can get from the site. I hope the Deputy is right. If it is worth €500 million, that would be great news but I rather suspect it is not. We are getting a professional valuation done on the site. We are trying to leverage everything we can. At the same time, as a leadership team we are trying to address the exact question the Deputy has raised. We make a lot of content around Ireland. Most of our high-quality dramas in the past year were not made in Dublin-----
