Ms Celene Craig:

I will take the first question about audience perceptions. In the course of conducting annual performance reviews of each of the public service broadcasters, we were measuring and assessing their performance against their annual commitments but the BAI also came to consider its own need to assess the extent to which they were performing against their statutory remit a little more specifically. We set about that for the first time over the past year. It is our intention to conduct that research year on year over the next three years and to track progress. We have not put the information in the public domain yet, although when the report on public funding for 2015 is presented to the Houses of the Oireachtas, members will see references to the research that was used to assess the performance of both RTE and TG4. We are looking at making available more publicly some of the key leading results of that. However, at this point we can share that in general the performance of both our public service broadcasters was viewed strongly in respect of many of the key aspects of their statutory remit.
