Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Culture and Governance Issues at RTÉ: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

Fintan Warfield: I wish to talk about the future strategy and what that might mean for the media landscape, including the audiovisual sector, film, TV and radio.

Fintan Warfield: I studied film and TV production in Galway. It always seemed to be a bit of a pipe dream to get into RTÉ from college. Would Ms O'Kelly have a vision of an RTÉ where young people can come in at entry level? It seems a very difficult organisation to get into. Does she share that impression?
