But it should be made obvious that that is the case.
or do they have to say "We got a freebie for our crew of four people from Aer Lingus"?
As the show is been funded by the taxpayer I would expect a cetrain amount for transparency.
Is it not still funded by the taxpayer?
How obvious? It's a while since I last watched the programme, so I am not conversant with how they express things. Is it okay if they say something like "We flew with Aer Lingus to Bordeaux and got a train from there to La Rochelle." or do they have to say "We got a freebie for our crew of four people from Aer Lingus"?
If I were planning a holiday to La Rochelle and there was a holiday programme being screened about La Rochelle for Irish viewers I would expect the programme to at least mention the fact that there is an airport in La Rochelle with an Irish airline flying in to it. Why mention Bordeaux airport at all?
The show is not made by RTE. They buy it in from Frontier Films.
Would it be more correct to say that RTE commissioned the programme from Frontier Films? Its not as if TV3 or any other TV station has an equal right to purchase the show from Frontier Films.
As the commissioning agent, RTE are responsible for the content.
Is it not still funded by the taxpayer?
No. It is funded by the TV licence payer. RTE gets no money from central government.
