Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

On a point of order, I asked two questions. The Government is committed separately to introducing legislation to establish the autonomy of TG4. What is the position in regard to that legislation?

What is the status of the commitment of the Government, as published, to the autonomy of TG4?
