In addition to RTE, my Department also provides exchequer funding to TG4 and 7% of net licence fee monies to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) in respect of the Broadcasting Fund. The Broadcasting Fund supports the Sound and Vision Scheme for the production of programming on Irish culture, heritage and experience and the Archiving Scheme for the preservation of broadcast material.

TG4 was allocated funding of €34.233m in current expenditure and €2m capital expenditure in 2019. A total of €14.79m funding was allocated to the BAI Broadcasting Fund in 2019.
