I understand that the Deputy is referring to payments specifically in respect of audio and visual broadcasting. Details of payments made by my Department are listed in the table provided.  Of the 18 bodies under the aegis of my Department, 15 have confirmed a nil response to the information sought, the Office of the Revenue Commissioners and the Credit Reviewer have provided details of payments to broadcasters and are listed in the table. It was not possible for NTMA to provide the information sought in the time available and therefore I will make arrangements to provide the outstanding information in line with Standing Orders.
