Ms Eleanor Bleahene:

As our submission outlines, the elevation of that obligation to a fiduciary duty, which, as the Deputy knows, is a legal obligation, given that it is drafted in the context of a duty on the members of the board to represent the interests of Irish people within the island of Ireland and those outside the Ireland and the fact that will change, which is absolutely recognised in the scheme, that it is a rather large, wide and diverse group to owe a legal duty to. Notwithstanding that, the amendment we have proposed is that it should be incorporated into one of the key functions of the board, which is to ensure the effective and efficient discharge of the public service objects by RTÉ with regard for the interests of those living on the island of Ireland and outside the island.
