The headline over one of the letters in The Irish Times today is "RTE's coverage of tribunal". I am respectful of the Cathaoirleach's guide with regard to tribunal business but this is an issue of the freedom of the media. I note the writer, John Cregan T.D., states he writes as Chairman of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Energy and Natural Resources. He writes that RTE's continued obsession with the Mahon tribunal is a matter of extreme concern to him and to many fellow Members of the Oireachtas. Does the Deputy Leader support what is stated in this letter? Did the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Energy and Natural Resources have discussions on sending this letter to The Irish Times? I am concerned it is an interference in the freedom of the media.
