Expert Advisory Committee Reports into RTÉ: Raidió Teilifís Éireann

Mr. Kevin Bakhurst:
We can confirm we received that money yesterday. It is to make up the shortfall in TV licences which help fund our range of services across the organisation. The funding is used for current affairs, drama, and continued investment in technology. We are already investing in the RTÉ Player this year. We are also rolling out training and development opportunities to staff. It is about funding business as usual and making sure we can maintain our public commitments in terms of the delivery of programming.
