Written answers

The delay in laying RTÉ's Annual Report before the Houses of the Oireachtas and consequential publication, arises from the change in Government in June this year and the subsequent arrangements associated with the transfer of functions regarding the Broadcasting Agencies from the then Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment D/CCAE to my Department. The Transfer of Functions Order came into operation on 23 September 2020 and consequently, responsibility for the Governance of RTÉ was transferred to me on that date. I expect to be in a position to present RTÉ's 2019 Annual Report to the Government for information shortly.
