Written Answers. - Comhairle do Raidió na Gaeltachta.
Is coiste comhairleach d'RTÉ i ndáil le cúrsaí Raidió na Gaeltachta í Comhairle Raidió na Gaeltachta, a cheapann Údarás RTÉ, le mo thoiliú, faoi Alt 21 den Acht um Údarás Craolacháin, 1960 (mar a leasaítear faoi Alt 5 den Acht um Údarás Craolacháin (Leasú), 1976.
Is ceist í ar an gcéad dul síos do RTÉ an Chomhairle a cheapadh agus ní ghá go rachadh mo Roinnse i gcomhairle le Roinn an Taoisigh faoi.
Comhairle Radio na Gaeltachta is an advisory committee to the RTE Authority on matters concerning Radio na Gaeltachta which is appointed by RTE, with my consent, under Section 21 of the Broadcasting Authority Act, 1960 (as amended by Section 5 of the Broadcasting Authority (Amendment) Act, 1976).
The appointment of the Comhairle is a matter in the first instance for RTE and the need for consultation between my Department and Roinn an Taoisigh does not arise.
