In the statement there is no reference to balance. This is something I would like to make sure we pursue in the committee. Within the transformation RTÉ is facing as a broadcaster, balance should be a question that is asked.

I have a couple of specific questions. Why are we hearing the voices of Israeli officials and official lines from the Israel Defense Forces when RTÉ clearly does not platform equivalent voices and lines from Russia in its coverage of the war in Ukraine?
