Ms Celene Craig:

The BAI's annual reviews of performance in public funding are public documents once they have been presented to the Minister and the Minister has presented them to the Dáil. Our annual and five-year reviews provide considerable insights into the performance over time of the public service broadcasters relative to the public commitments they make annually. Our reviews also give extensive commentary, not just one the financial aspects of that performance, but also the audience performance and the use of public funding. The BAI draws on all of that material when making recommendations on the level of public funding. In addition to the material that Mr. Lynch referenced, the BAI's reports are extensive and provide a great deal of insight on and transparency of the use of public funding.
