Imelda Munster (SF), Louth

My question was prompted by comments from the Minister on the establishment of the media commission, which indicated that the process would begin ahead of the passing of the Bill. The committee has corresponded with the Minister, as it appears that we are in a vacuum currently in terms of the commission and the Bill. We know that the staff of the BAI will be transferred, but is the Minister saying that the recruitment process has started or that it will not happen until the second quarter of this year? Are we looking at the second half of this year before the commission will be established?
