My core broadcasting policy objective is to promote the existence of an environment that encourages the maintenance of high quality Irish radio and television services by both independent broadcasters and RTE. This is likely to be best achieved by having in place an appropriate regulatory framework that provides for the licensing of independent television and radio services and by providing RTE with adequate public funding to deliver on its public service mandate.
