As I said, I will bring the matter to the attention of the Minister for Finance.
Senator Rónán Mullen spoke about the trustworthiness of RTE. In that context, he called for a debate with the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and the Environment on the declining rate of trust in RTE, the level of which has fallen from 68% to 61%. I saw part of "The Late Late Show" programme mentioned by him and thought it was pathetic and cringe-making. Television programmes are, however, geared towards what the audience wants. Unfortunately, there is an increasing demand for such programmes in this society.
