Media reports of an RTÉ transfer
MacSharry asks whether the Taoiseach denies reports attributed to Minister of State Nealon about transferring RTÉ responsibility. The Taoiseach repeats that no transfer is proposed and says he cannot comment on Nealon’s remarks because he is unaware of them.
Arising from what the Taoiseach has said in reply to Deputy Haughey in relation to the transfer of functions of RTE to the Minister of State at his Department, is the Taoiseach now categorically denying suggestions made by his Minister of State, Deputy Nealon, to that effect in certain media in recent weeks?

The question put to me is whether it is proposed to transfer responsibilities to my Department and I have answered that question.

Is the Taoiseach denying suggestions made by his Minister of State, Deputy Nealon, in that regard, that such was about to happen?
Comment on this
I am not aware of what the Minister of State, Deputy Nealon, said and, therefore, am not in a position to comment on it.
