Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Trevor Keegan:

Absolutely. It is going to happen. People already fear it is going to happen. We have had discussions with management. It is actively looking at the possibility of those two big mainstays of production. Studios will be empty and people will possibly be paid to do very little work in them and they will obviously become disheartened and possibly look for voluntary exit packages, etc., but that is not making a healthy sector for either public service media or the private sector.
