Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 April 2024
34. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the position regarding the publication of the two Government-commissioned reports pertaining to RTÉ; if she has seen either report; if so, when she received the report(s); when each will be published; if Dáil Éireann will have an opportunity to debate the reports; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Reviews of Governance and Culture and of Contractor Fees, HR and Other Matters in RTÉ being prepared by the independent Expert Advisory Committees have not yet been submitted to me. However, I expect to receive them shortly.
Following the submission of the Reviews I will examine their contents, bring them to Government and then publish them. The timing of bringing the Reviews to Government and their publication will be decided when they have been submitted.
The agenda of Dáil business is a matter for the Business Committee of Dáil Éireann. However, I would welcome consideration of the Reviews by the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media when they are published.
