Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin, today met with the new Chair of the Board of RTÉ, Terence O’Rourke, together with the Director General, Kevin Bakhurst.
Minister Martin said:
“This was a very positive engagement where we discussed the importance of continuing the programme of reform of RTÉ, and the priority of putting in place a sustainable funding model for RTÉ and public service media in Ireland.”
They agreed on the necessity of working together to respond to the recommendations published by the Public Accounts Committee this week, and to the two independent Expert Advisory Committee reports that Minister Martin has commissioned.
The Minister added:
"I am looking forward to working with the Chair and the Board in progressing the major reform agenda underway in the organisation."
