The plan will be shown to us at a high level in October and we will then see the exact timelines and how it will be implemented. The bottom line is we need to make sure RTÉ can continue to produce and provide a high-quality public service to the people, but I have to be careful in that, under the legislation, we cannot impinge on its editorial independence. Nevertheless, we expect it to take all actions to maintain and reduce costs. With so strong a spotlight on RTÉ, not only from me as Minister and the Cabinet but also the entire Oireachtas and the public, everyone is watching out for that strategic vision and will be looking at its implementation.
