I agree with the Senator on all the positives he is saying about the chair. There is no denying it. As I said on many occasions here, she is genuine, committed, hard-working and dedicated to the good of public service broadcasting. Unintentional or not, however - I am saying I believe it was unintentional - it is not as simple as having no homework done. The direct line of communication with the Minister for media is the chair of the board of RTÉ, and I, or any other Minister, must have full confidence in the accuracy of information and the reliability of communications.
