Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Engagement with Chairperson to the Board of RTÉ

Ms Aideen Howard:

On the detail of the Senator's question, that is something we can provide a little more information on beyond the scope of what I will be able to tell her. RTÉ's equality, diversity and inclusion policy informs a whole heap of programming and other decisions across the operation. At the same time, we are also very aware of the public sector duty and just how important that is for the implementation of the UNCRPD. It is something of which we are very aware. On the detail of the Senator's question on whether we have ambitions to exceed what has been set out in legislation, we will have to come back to her on that.
