The matter referred to by the Deputy relates to the assignment of spectrum, which is a matter for the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg). ComReg is the statutory body responsible for the management of spectrum in Ireland, including that used by TV services as referred to in the Deputy's question, under the Communications Regulation Act 2002. ComReg is also responsible for issuing a licence to RTÉ in respect of television services transmitted by digital terrestrial means under the Broadcasting Act 2009.

I have no direct role in the assignment of specific spectrum.
