Media regulator to carry out regular reviews into RTÉ public funding under new proposed reformsBrendan O’Connor in a new parenting podcast: ‘I was mad. I was mental’
The Department of Media said the Minister would now refer the Bill to an Oireachtas committee for pre-legislative scrutiny.The proposed legislation would see the Comptroller and Auditor General assigned as auditor of RTÉ and would include other measures to strengthen the authority, role and functions of the boards of RTÉ and TG4.
Coimisiún na Meán would have to publish the methodology by which it would undertake the review following a public consultation.Under the proposed legislation, if the board sought to remove a director general from office, a statement would have to be provided in writing to the Minister which would subsequently be laid before the Oireachtas.
