Section 84 of the Broadcasting Act 2009 provides for the terms of Board members of the Public Service Broadcasting Corporations, RTÉ and TG4. In accordance with section 84(2), Board members may be paid such remuneration (if any) as is determined by the Minister, with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, out of monies at the disposal of the corporation. The manner in which such monies are sourced and paid is a matter for the corporation and not one in which the Minister has a role.
