Vol. 520 No. 2

Written Answers. - Digital Terrestrial Television.

Derek McDowell

Question:

59 Mr. McDowell asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands when she expects to meet the members of the RTE authority for renewed discussions on the project to establish a digital terrestrial entity; when she expects that these discussions will be concluded and decisions made; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15315/00]

I expect that I will shortly receive the report of the facilitator I engaged to promote a common understanding of certain issues among RTE, the RTE trade union group, and the RTE network employees likely to transfer to the new DTT entity and to facilitate the presentation of information to me on the positions of these parties. When I have received and considered the report of the facilitator I will arrange a further meeting with the RTE authority. I will then bring forward for consideration by Government revised proposals, if necessary, as to how the process to establish the DTT platform should be advanced.
