Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Culture and Governance Issues at RTÉ: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

Imelda Munster: ...most of the workers ever stand back and allow this to happen? We are talking about, I think, just under 700. There are possibly more. It has gone on for decades. It is a scandal. Workers were denied pension rights, holiday pay, maternity leave, sick pay, that is, everything to which any ordinary worker ought to be entitled. SIPTU and the NUJ are the unions. They are the people to...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Culture and Governance Issues at RTÉ: Discussion (24 Apr 2024)

Imelda Munster: ...of the misclassification of workers and the denial of their rights as workers. That is a significant amount but we do not know if that is just to cover the PRSI entitlements. There is no mention of pension entitlements or anything else the workers were denied. I would like to hear from SIPTU too. As a union, what protection did it afford, given that decades on, these workers are...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Broadcasting Sector (19 Oct 2023)

Imelda Munster: ...that Revenue is going to be coming after them. At a minimum the figure is €19 million. It goes back decades, where workers within RTÉ, the public service broadcaster, were bogusly classed as self-employed and denied pension rights, holiday leave, holiday pay, sick leave, all of the entitlements that other workers are entitled to. We were listening to that and then we had...

Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): RTÉ (13 Jul 2023)

Imelda Munster: ...account? The whole thing was, as the Chair said, designed to deceive. What consequences will there be, other than those people being told that they need to step aside and go off with their pensions? Where are the consequences because people are sick of the lack of accountability in corporate governance in this State? Once and for all, they want to see consequences, not a slap on the...

Imelda Munster: ...asset-management business; DIF Capital Partners, an infrastructure equity fund manager based in the Netherlands; Royal BAM Group, which is based in the Netherlands, and PGGM, which manages Dutch occupational pension funds. Celtic Roads and its shareholders are clearly not suffering financial hardship, which is more than can be said for many of those who pass through the toll plaza every...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: National Cultural Institutions (National Concert Hall) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (19 Oct 2022)

Imelda Munster: I have a question about the staff affected by the transfer. What is the number of staff either lost by RTÉ or gained by the National Concert Hall? What is the effect on their pensions, whether the RTÉ defined contribution scheme or the various pensions RTÉ has transferring to the public service scheme? I am wondering because there is the provision about conditions not being...

Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General
Chapter 3 - Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (23 Jun 2022)

Imelda Munster: On No. 1281B, the correspondence from RTÉ indicated that the scope section does not have any remit in respect of pensions or holiday liabilities. I ask that we seek further clarification from RTÉ on whether these matters will form part of the discussions with workers once the Revenue and scope section investigations have concluded. Did the Chairman reference No. 1290B?

University of Limerick Financial Report 2020 (12 May 2022)

Imelda Munster: That is good news. I have a question for the Department. There were two pension reports that were meant to be completed by the end of 2019. Where are they at?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (28 Apr 2022)

Imelda Munster: Yes, but the two items are tied in with RTÉ. RTÉ has committed to back pay of up to only four years and nothing at all in respect of holiday pay or pension contributions. I do not see how it could get away with that. I know the Chairman has referred to the other correspondence, but could we write to both the Department of Social Protection and RTÉ to ask them both whether...

Financial Resolutions 2021 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (14 Oct 2021)

Imelda Munster: ...Sinn Féin would have put workers and families first. We would have invested where it is most needed to address the crises we have in health and housing and the cost of living. We would have guaranteed the right to retire on a pension at aged 65. Alongside that, we would have delivered the largest investment in mental health in the history of the State, significantly increased...

State Pension Age: Motion [Private Members] (22 Jun 2021)

Imelda Munster: I welcome the chance to speak on this important motion. The State pension age was a significant issue at the time of the last election and it remains a significant issue for thousands of people across the State. Sinn Féin will continue its campaign until the Government's plans to raise the pension age are scrapped and the pension age is restored to 65. The Government plans to raise...
