Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion

Ms Patricia Cronin:

I might start with Deputy Ó Cuív's last question on how broad the terms of reference will be for the review of public sector broadcasting. The terms of reference are going to be quite broad. They refer to identifying what the Irish experience has been in delivering the above aims through public sector broadcasters and other media outlets at local, regional and national levels.

To answer the Deputy's question, it will be a very broadly based review and it will look beyond RTÉ. My colleague, Ms Quill, will cover the first two questions which would also be within the remit of the regulator, namely, the BAI.
