Section 114 (1) of the Broadcasting Act 2009 states the principal objects and associated powers of RTÉ and section 98 provides that it shall be independent in the pursuance of these objects, subject to the requirements of the Act. As such, I, as Minister, have no function in the management of RTÉ’s day to day affairs.

However, I have referred the matter to the company for direct reply to the Deputy.
