It is not agreed.

We do not know if the Government is going to give us the disability discussion we asked for.

The Government must scrap the TV licence and support public service media through direct Exchequer funding. This was recommended in the report of the Future of Media Commission. There has been a loss of confidence in the wake of the scandals in RTÉ and this loss has not been helped by this week's additional scandals and announcements regarding the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, the RTÉ board and who knew what when the bumper exit packages were being paid out to top executives. The Government cannot use this mess to put reform on the back foot or to push back the clear need to abolish the TV licence, a licence the Taoiseach himself has described as outdated. Other Government TDs, including even the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, have acknowledged that the licence fee is regressive and that a new funding model is needed. For the sake of public service broadcasting, will the Government abolish the licence fee and provide direct Exchequer funding?

What public service broadcasting needs is confidence regarding the money that will be available to it in the years ahead, which is what the television licence has offered in the past. If it is to be scrapped, there will be a need to find €130 million or €150 million from someplace else. That is money we will not be able to spend in responding to the issues just raised by party leaders. The Government is considering the future of the television licence at the moment. The revenue the licence fee brings in is very valuable and the majority of people within our country still pay it. The Government will consider this matter in the coming weeks.
