Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht
Future of Media in Ireland: Discussion
Professor Brian MacCraith:
We are still considering the Irish language element. It is actually on the agenda for this week's meeting and it will come up over the coming weeks as we formulate our conclusions. It is clearly called out in our remit and terms of reference looking at RTÉ and TG4 and across the broader media ecosystem. We had some significant submissions on the subject of the language. We also engaged with TG4, Conradh na Gaeilge and others around the matter. I hope that reassures the Deputy that it is a significant priority for us.
