Broadcasting (Funding) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

They are the main points I wish to make as regards this Bill. My final point is with regard to RTE. This is the first time that some part of the licence fee has been ring-fenced for something other than RTE's needs. It is important that this should be monitored to see how it is developing. It is possible, for instance, that within the context of the national broadcasting station, better value for money may be achieved by allowing it to carry out some of these functions, such as archiving, rather than having a separate infrastructure to do so.
