Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 March 2014
613. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources further to Parliamentary Question No. 343 of 11 February 2014, if he will provide an update on same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13475/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs outlined in my reply to Question No. 343 of 11 February, the ownership of the telecommunications mast in this case and any legal issues therein are primarily matters for RTÉ and other parties to the case. Section 98 of the Broadcasting Act 2009 provides that RTÉ shall be independent in the pursuance of its objects and as such, I, as Minister, have no function in this matter. However, as undertaken in my previous statement, a response on this issue from 2RN will issue to the Deputy shortly.
