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

Engagement with Chairperson to the Board of RTÉ

Mr. Terence O'Rourke:

Yes. We need to get enough information to do our work but not be snowed under by reports. We had the debate and while there were differing views, the board agreed that we need a fund of information for all of the obvious reasons. We are getting very thorough information at the moment. We get detailed minutes of the leadership team meetings every week. We get the minutes of all of the committee meetings and the reports are shared with all of the board members. At every board meeting we get a report of any committee meetings that have happened in the interim. I get a great sense of openness and transparency at the moment and have not found anything hidden or not being dealt with properly in my time as chair.
