The technical working group and the expert working group, which may be one and the same, reported earlier this year in March, as the Minister said. Afterwards, the debacle happened in RTÉ. Considering that most of the points were already presented in the report from the Future of Media Commission, there did not seem to be a reason a technical working group was needed to decide on which of the options the Future of Media Commission made.

When will we see a decision made by Government on the three options recommended by the Future of Media Commission? I believe it recommended the third option. When is a decision going to be taken now that the debacle in RTÉ has settled down to some degree? We already know what the TV licence income should be and it is up to Revenue to chase those who have not paid.
