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

Engagement with Chairperson to the Board of RTÉ

Ms Aideen Howard:

From a board perspective, our role is about oversight rather than coming up with the policies, or the editorial or creative approach to deliver that. However, we take a serious view of our oversight role. The principles we would hope to see employed by our colleagues in management are in and around increased investment in a range of areas and the Senator will see that regionalisation is a key part of how RTÉ proposes to initiate that, whether that is moving more activity to Cork or taking a renewed look at Galway and Limerick.
