Sir, Ms O'Keefe (November 19th) objects to the continued use of RTE for broadcasting Irish language programmes, implying that they should be broadcast on TnaG. This is a reasonable idea, which implies that TnaG should have closer ties to RTE. However, TnaG has begun life displaying a vigorous enthusiasm for its task, an enthusiasm which closer ties to the bureaucracy of RTE can only diminish. TnaG requires as much independence as possible from RTE if it is to eventually deliver on its early promise. Go n eiri an bothar leo. - Yours, etc.,
