RTÉ is established under the Broadcasting Act 2009 as the national public service broadcaster. Section 114 (1) of the Act 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 RTÉ’s day to day operations.
