I am in the process of meeting all bodies under the remit of my Department. The meeting referenced by the Deputy will be scheduled shortly.

I have made provision for the payment of €199.322m to RTÉ from TV licence fee receipts in 2019 and for an exchequer grant of €36.233m to TG4 comprising current funding of €34.233m and capital funding of €2m. These funding levels will be set out in the Revised Estimates for 2019 to be published by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform shortly.
