RTE Television only needs RTE One, RTE Two and RTE Jr - RTE News Channel is a waste of a channel, just simulcasting RTE One and Radio 1 news content, it can close.

+1 channels are almost not needed anymore - everyone streams, everyone can record, it really is only for a much older generation, but sadly it is an expensive concept

RTE Radio doesn't need digital channels, lose are a thing of the 2000s, when digital radio was new and fresh - concentrate on Radio 1, 2FM, Lyric, R na G and put new programming from the digital stations into those four stations where needed.

You're basically axing things there that cost little to nothing but do add some value, even if only slightly.    It's likely they're using space RTE is allocated anyway, so it's less value not to use that spectrum at all.

Ultimately if it comes down to what is "needed" you're cutting all PSB channels down to one part time channel which shows the odd bulletin and a bit of live sport - and even then you could argue that's covered elsewhere anyway.   PSBs aren't there to work on behalf of their rival broadcasters - they're there to provide content to the public, and that means a range of content accessible in a range of ways.
