Sir, David Blake Knox, Assistant Director of Television Programmes RTE, in his response to my letter, (June 6th) fails to mention the one figure he himself was responsible for. RTE's total income is currently £150 million per annum. He said that television programme production expenditure was currently £45 million.

The question remains, where is the balance of £105 million spent? Yours, etc., Chairman, Broadcasting Subcommittee, Film Makers Ireland, Eustace Street, Dublin 2.
