Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Pre-Legislative Scrutiny of the General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2017 and Retransmission Fees: Discussion (Resumed)

5:00 pm

Mr. Pat Kiely:

I will cover one other point. Deputy Dooley referred to it as taking pops at RTE. I do not see this as a pop at RTE. In fact, if Dee Forbes was here I would imagine she would agree with a lot of what I have said. What I am calling for is greater efficiencies within RTE and Dee herself has called for that.
