Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Budgetary Position and Editorial Policy: Discussion with RTE

11:25 am

Mr. Noel Curran:

We are constantly looking at commercial rates and assessing price. This is unfortunately becoming a bigger issue in the market, as happens in a recession. We must constantly look at where we are placed with our competitors. We publish our prices, which can put us at a disadvantage, but that is part of our transparency. Price is something we constantly look at in commercial terms.

The PwC report was the first time we have done such a report. We felt it was important that the information was public.
