Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Change and Natural Resources: Estimates for Public Services 2016: Vote 29 - Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (21 Sep 2016)

Timmy Dooley: I welcome the Minister. I would like to concentrate on the future rather than the past because he is ahead of profile in terms of his spend. It almost seems to suggest that he will have very little to do, with up to 90% of his funds spent in certain areas and 75% in others. That was up to June, so by the look of things it will be a lean enough period until Christmas.

Timmy Dooley: I will refer to a couple of issues. On climate change, I was surprised to hear the Minister say that the effort does not fall to his Department alone.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Change and Natural Resources: Estimates for Public Services 2016: Vote 29 - Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (21 Sep 2016)

Timmy Dooley: I have some questions on broadcasting. Following his appointment, the Minister indicated that he was going to move away from the notion of a broadcasting charge, which was mentioned by a previous Minister, with a view to generating additional revenue for RTE to meet its commitments. The Minister has indicated a desire to sweat the assets, so to speak, in terms of getting a better return on...

While they are not following a particular schedule, they are consuming data that is created at a cost by the national broadcaster. It is about how, as we move to the future, we have a robust system that protects the idea of public sector broadcasting....
