Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media

There are nineteen agencies in the Department under my remit. I have been informed that the majority of these have not had an issue or reached a settlement with the Revenue Commissioners on any issue in the past five years.

Three Bodies under the aegis of my Department, RTÉ, TG4 and the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland have had engagement with Revenue and I have asked these Bodies to respond directly to the Deputy within the required timeframe.
