Last week, the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport and Communications discussed bias within the State broadcaster. Later that evening, during the Private Members' motion, the issue was raised again, particularly surrounding the implementation of Irish Water. In this context, when is it expected that the broadcasting (amendment) Bill, which is to deal with the transition from the television licence to a broadcasting charge, will come before the House? Is it expected that the comments in the Oireachtas committee and here last week regarding bias will form part of the context of it?

The Deputy should not bully RTE. It is a free press.

I have no date for the legislation.
