Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment

As a matter of course I, as Minister, meet with the Boards and CEOs of bodies under the aegis of my Department from time to time. I can confirm that I last met with the Chair and CEO of the station referred to by the Deputy in October 2016 for a general discussion. I last met with the Chair and Director General of RTÉ in February 2017 and met with the Director General of RTE in November. Both meetings involved a general discussion on matters relevant to that broadcaster.
