Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

The Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, and I are engaging with one another on the future funding of RTÉ. The aim of the Government is to reach a decision on the matter before the end of this month.
With regard to the enhanced oversight arrangements, as I said in my answer a moment ago, my understanding is that the Minister will bring forward the legislation to implement this recommendation, but it will take a little longer. The general scheme will be brought forward in the autumn of this year. That will be a significant moment in changing the oversight and governance arrangements around RTÉ. The Minister is working hard to do so at the moment.
