Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 October 2021
93. Deputy Brian Leddin asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if information will be provided on previous and planned actions by RTÉ in response to the Report of the Joint Committee on Climate Action Climate Change: A Cross-Party Consensus for Action March 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47475/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraRTÉ is an independent national public service broadcaster whose remit and obligations are set out in the Broadcasting Act 2009, and, as such, the Minister has no role in it day-to-day operations. Section 98 provides that “subject to the requirements of this Act, a corporation shall be independent in the pursuance of its objects.”
As such it is for RTÉ to note the recommendations from the report and implement them in its own decision making.
