View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 747 and 748 together.
My most recent meeting with the Director-General and Chair of RTE took place on 21 February 2017. We had a wide ranging discussion on the broadcasting sector and corporate governance matters, in particular, the financial challenges facing RTE. Remuneration policy is an operational matter for RTE and was not the subject of the meeting.
