Vol. 1041 No. 1

Recommendation of the Committee on Remit Oversight: Instruction to Committee

I move:

That, whereas Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) is in receipt of significant public funding paid under Vote 33, and in the context of the examination by the Committee of Public Accounts (PAC) of the appropriation of public moneys in relation to that Vote, and whereas it is in the public interest that there is transparency and probity in relation to the use of public moneys, pursuant to Standing Orders 93B and 218(10)—

(a) the Committee on Remit Oversight hereby recommends to Dáil Éireann that PAC be permitted to examine expenditure by RTÉ of public moneys for the period from 2017 to date, including the commercial arrangements entered into by RTÉ and its presenters in relation to that period, including those underwritten by RTÉ, which have impacted on, and relate to, the expenditure of public moneys, and matters relating thereto; and

(b) it be an instruction to PAC that it has the power as described in paragraph (a) until 31st December, 2023, to conduct the aforementioned examination, and that it shall lay a report before Dáil Éireann on the matter as soon as practicable thereafter.

Question put and agreed to.
