Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Future Funding of Public Service Broadcasting: Discussion

Ms Eimear Cusack:

We have introduced a fairly robust policy on the engagement of contractors. It came into place in January. All our managers have been trained and we have a fairly rigid approval process to understand the contracts under which people come into the organisation. In the main, unless someone is coming in as a freelancer for a specific purpose, in which case they disappear afterwards, maternity leave cover and so on is fixed-term and fixed-purpose. There is therefore fairly tight governance around this now.
