Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: RTÉ (Resumed)
Shane Cassells (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I have two points, one being to follow up on Mr. Kehoe's position on that and the buy-in by the public.
Does Mr. Kehoe believe the transformation plan from Mr. Bakhurst needs to be published before the Cabinet decides to move to introduce a media charge on each of the 2.1 million homes in this country that the Revenue will be collecting to ensure the money comes in? Additionally, what actions would RTÉ have to take to ensure there is public buy-in? I ask this because a large portion of the public have made their decision. We are now moving from a scenario of governing by consent to enforcing something that will be collected by the Revenue.
