Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion
Ms Dee Forbes:
There is a lot in the Deputy's question. When I started in RTÉ the first thing I did was to look at how the organisation is structured, knowing that we are facing major transformation in the industry, to determine whether RTÉ was positioned appropriately for that challenge, particularly as viewing habits were changing. With that in mind, we restructured the organisation. That process is under way and is working incredibly well in some areas, while in other areas it may not be working as well. That is typical of any reorganisation. Having said that, this was also put in place when we worked on our five-year strategy for the BAI.
