PQ 476
476. Deputy Robert O'Donoghue asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport whether, under the multi-annual funding arrangement for RTÉ agreed in 2024, the amount paid to RTÉ under section 123(3) of the Broadcasting Act 2009 is calculated as the difference between a fixed total funding figure and television licence fee receipts; if so, whether any increase in licence fee receipts arising from improved compliance would reduce the Exchequer contribution rather than increase total funding to RTÉ.
