Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:
I think that is definitely an option that is on the table, particularly around the radio building. Obviously the concert orchestra relies on that studio as a rehearsal and performance space, so that is a major consideration. I do not think we have to take a decision on that over the next two or three years, but we absolutely should be looking at how we collaborate with artists and independent producers and if we can create a space for content creators, particularly new ones, to try and help those younger companies and individuals that are establishing themselves.
