Ms Libbie McQuillan:

Screen Ireland publishes its funding decisions on a quarterly basis. We appreciate the composite picture of the requirements of section 116, which imposes requirements on RTÉ regarding funding and detailed protocols and rights for independents.

We welcome transparency overall. We recognise that sometimes there may be questions about commercial sensitivity but we believe a balance can be struck between providing overall transparency, of which we are in favour, and dealing with commercially sensitive issues should they emerge.
