I am still quite aghast that Ms Cusack said she had no information about the disparity between the remuneration for comparable workers, particularly the 25% difference between a cláraitheoir and a producer at RTÉ radio. She may not be aware of this, but I would be surprised if she were not. The Connacht Tribunerecently reported that Irish-speaking workers at Raidío na Gaeltachta felt that they were treated as the poor relation in comparison with their counterparts. I am not sure if she managed to garner that information since we spoke earlier. If she knows nothing about it or is totally unaware, which would be incredible, can she give us an undertaking that she will review the remuneration of Irish-language workers at Raidío na Gaeltachta in comparison with their colleagues and furnish the committee with the findings of that review?
