With regard to the use of media and technology to support the Irish language, there are many innovative ways in which this can be done. I have received e-mails and texts in Irish. Texts are handy, and perhaps a thought for the day in Irish would be a good idea as we all use texts as well as e-mails. I would welcome an increase in licence fee revenue towards TG4 and away from RTE. Since I took over my role, I have watched TG4 more often and know it is a wonderful tool that is broadcast into every home. TG4's programming on sports and the arts has been wonderful. If it has a difficulty with finance, there should be a means of diverting licence fee revenue away from RTE and towards TG4.
