Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I expect to have the recommendations of the two expert advisory groups, on governance and culture and on contractor fees, human resources and other matters, shortly. They will be incorporated into a new strategy for RTÉ, which will come to the Government. They will bring clarity to the basis on which the Government will make decisions on the future funding of RTÉ. In the interim, there will have to be absolute transparency regarding packages; there should be no secrecy. The chair, Siún Ní Raghallaigh, and the director general, are working very hard to restore trust. This is being done in parallel with the process of revelation and necessary accountability before the Oireachtas committees. Parallel with that, we have to create stability within the public service broadcaster. We have to create a future and ensure the broadcaster can grow and recover from this period. We are very focused on that imperative, and our actions will follow that.
