Mr. Frank O'Connor:

With regard to NewERA, as the Senator stated, in the past few years RTÉ was designated along with 24 others. However, NewERA was not party to the two reports that were commissioned and completed. There are review groups looking at those reports and at the progress made. One of them had 90 recommendations, 78 in respect of RTÉ and 12 that were linked elsewhere outside of RTÉ. There was a second report - I am trying to remember the numbers – but NewERA was not party to either of those reports. There is a review group with the relevant Departments and RTÉ, and NewERA has since been designated and will sit in on that. Other than that, I would not have a comment to make. It is a matter for the Department.
