Galway West TD Eamon O' Cuiv is demanding extra funding for TG4, in light of RTÉ's inability to stick to its budget.
He says the Connemara-based broadcaster delivers an incredibly high level of service, while adhering to a very limited budget.
Yesterday's Budget announcement confirmed TG4 will receive extra funding this year.
Deputy Ó Cuiv has told Taoiseach Leo Varadkar that an extra €15m would be small money in the context of the money given to RTÉ.
