The Minister is considering the approach to be taken on a range of matters in broadcasting. They include consideration of the proposed public service broadcasting charge and a number of matters that have arisen since the five-year review by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland of the funding of public service broadcasters, including a new system to determine the adequacy of funding for public service broadcasters and revision of the current governance arrangements for advertising. In conjunction with this, the Minister is considering possible legislative amendments to administrative and operational issues identified in the period since the Act took effect. The public service broadcasting charge will be considered by the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Alex White, in the context of funding public service broadcasters.
