Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
556. Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if she will provide an update on her interactions, and those of her Department, with the RTÉ board and executive board in relation to the ongoing issues at the broadcaster; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37151/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraSince my reply to Parliamentary Question 103 (on Thursday 13th July), my officials met with RTÉ on Thursday 20th July. This was part of the regular engagement which takes place between my Department, RTÉ and NewERA and was attended by the Director General, the Acting Deputy Director General and Group Financial Controller of RTÉ.
My Department will continue to engage with RTÉ both as a matter of routine, and also as we continue to progress the independent reviews which I commissioned since the issues relating to the understatement of the remuneration of a contractor in RTÉ first came to light last month.
