250 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if the proposal on a staffing structure submitted by the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland for the establishment of a fund to support certain television and radio productions has been approved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31354/04]
View answerThe Broadcasting Commission of Ireland recently submitted proposals to my Department on its staffing requirements to implement the broadcasting funding scheme. The scheme will provide funding to support certain television and radio programmes and projects from 5% of net receipts of television licence fees. I expect to receive a proposed scheme from the BCI in the coming weeks. My Department is examining the staffing proposals.
