Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 November 2004
127 Mr. Gogarty asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the expected cost of the review he has commissioned on the possible effect of RTÉ advertising practices on other broadcasting media. [31239/04]
View answerIn October of this year I engaged a team of consultants to conduct a review of the impact on all broadcasters of the licence fee paid to RTÉ, with particular emphasis on possible distortions in the advertising market. I am expecting the final report from the consultants shortly. While my Department has not as yet received an invoice for this consultancy task, it is expected that the consultancy fees and expenses will be in the region of €90,000.
