688. Deputy Michael Moynihan asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources for an update on the survey Raidió Teilifís Éireann is carrying out on the longwave radio service; the steps that have been taken to ensure that the survey is easily accessible for longwave listeners who wish participate; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerRTE is an independent national public service broadcaster whose remit and obligations are set out in Section 114 of the Broadcasting Act 2009.
Section 98 provides that the company shall be independent in the pursuance of these objects, subject to the requirements of the Act and as such, I, as Minister, have no function in the management of RTÉ’s day to day affairs including the management of listener surveys. I suggest that the Deputy contact RTÉ directly in order to obtain this information.
