164. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she has received copies of a review (details supplied) concerning bogus self-employment at RTÉ; if not, if she has sought it; if she understands the importance of this review for the future of the national broadcaster; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

165. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will request a copy of the completed Government commissioned report into RTÉ; if she will publish each respective report as they each become available to publish, rather than waiting for both to be published together; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

On the evening of 26 April 2024, I received the Reviews of Governance and Culture and of Contractor Fees, HR and Other Matters prepared by the two independent Expert Advisory Committees appointed on foot of a Government decision last July. At the same time, I also received Mazars final report on their examination of the RTÉ barter account and any other off-balance sheet accounts.

I am now examining the contents of these three comprehensive reports. The two independent Expert Advisory Committee reports are the only reports, since the crisis emerged in RTE, that contain recommendations. Once I have examined the three reports, I will bring the reports to Government. The reports will be published together after they have been brought to and considered by Government.
