Does RTÉ's remuneration committee meet only for the big guns, "the top talent", a term, I agree with Deputy Boyd Barrett, that is very insulting? It implies that untalented people exist in the organisation, which is rather unfair. Does the committee meet only to examine the remuneration of the top guns, the top talent or did it meet in 2019, for example, when the Lyric FM staff were out on the street in Limerick, with their jobs on the line and the place about to close and being told there was no money for the station? Did the remuneration committee meet in that period or does it focus just on the top talent?
