Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I just cannot see why you would audit something already audited or why anybody would go down that route. I do not believe anybody has ever questioned the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General’s ability to carry out its work. Since there is the next step, the PAC, which oversees the Comptroller and Auditor General-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Revised General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (10 Jun 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: A dual audit of certain parts rather than the whole lot, which seems to suggest RTÉ will have a private audit of itself, followed by the Comptroller and Auditor General doing the exact same thing, meaning a delay in the provision of accounts for scrutiny.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: To follow on in the same vein, it was interesting to hear mention of the good relationship with the US streaming companies. Is there any view about the streaming levy coming not only from the US streaming companies but also from those who are making the fabulous productions here in Ireland? Has that come across?

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am more asking for an opinion. The witnesses are the people who help to produce. It know it is the responsibility of the Department.

Deputy Brennan was correct that quite a number of programmes are being produced here in Ireland for US audiences. Have they expressed a view on the streaming levy in Ireland? There is a streaming levy in other countries....
