Mr. Mark Griffin:

Where there is deemed to be a requirement for a service level agreement, a service level agreement is in place. We have it in place for the digital hub, the EPA, the Loughs Agency, Inland Fisheries Ireland, IFI, and the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, SEAI. The operation of RTÉ is governed by comprehensive legislation, the Broadcasting Act 2009. There are provisions in it for the objectives of RTÉ. It submits a five-year strategic plan to the Department. The code of practice for the governance of State bodies applies to it. The updated 2016 code of practice will be applied to it. The company has an independent regulator. Control mechanisms are in place. The strategy has to be signed off.
