Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

Revised General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Aoife MacEvilly:

We recently had good news from the Minister of an expanded sanction for staffing. We will be expanding our organisation. We currently have just over 200 staff and that will go to just over 300 staff. This may seem like a lot but we have a huge agenda ahead of us. We are happy with the support we are getting on that front. The ability to levy the sectors enables us to have financial independence as well. That is also supportive of our role.
