Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: My concern is that between the Department, Coimisiún na Meán and the board of RTÉ things could move and everybody is responsible but no one is responsible. I am not saying that is the base but Ms Licken will know herself the way it works with different organisations when more people are responsible. That is not an argument against it and I understand why they are there....

If I could dwell on the FAI for a moment, it made a recent submission on funding from the horse and greyhound racing fund. What level of engagement does the Department have with the FAI in regard to its submission for funding from that fund?
