Mr. Adam Larragy:

The general scheme sets out that, as part of Coimisiún na Meán’s three-year appraisal of the funding of RTÉ, it can suggest a higher figure than the minimum of 25%. If the Minister agrees with that, Coimisiún na Meán can make an order increasing the minimum amount from 25%. RTÉ, on its own, could increase it anyway, but the statutory minimum can change through Coimisiún na Meán making the relevant order with the consent of the Minister.
