Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

With regard to whether RTE should already have switched from analogue to DTT, we deliberately changed the legislation to give us flexibility in this regard and not to impose a legal requirement on RTE to switch off at the end of this year. I thought about the matter and considered it better to give a certain flexibility. This was fortunate in the event of what has happened, that is, a delay in the process, which no one wanted.

The Deputies seem to be saying that if the process is not working we should change the rules.
