Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed)
Thomas Gould (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
With society now, with people on social media, computers, devices and their phones, the TV in every house is a thing of the past. We want to see a sustainable funding model for public service broadcasting. Mr. Bakhurst said earlier it is also something he would like to see so RTÉ can do its work. If we keep going with the model we have, I worry that this year fewer people will pay the TV licence fee and RTÉ might have to come back to the Government again looking for money. With the current state of funding, is that something that could happen sometime in 2024?
