Fergus Foody
Fergus Foody is the Director of Legal and Public Affairs at Mediahuis, a multinational media company based in Belgium and the Netherlands. He has been vocal about the challenges facing commercial media in Ireland, particularly in relation to the Irish government's recent funding agreement for RTÉ, which he argues could distort the media market by providing RTÉ with significant financial resources to enhance its digital capabilities. In a letter to the Minister for Culture, Arts and Communication, Foody expressed concerns over the potential negative impact of RTÉ's funding on independent media and the competitive landscape, particularly in light of the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the media sector.
