Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Culture and Governance Issues at RTÉ: Discussion

Ms Teresa Hannick:

I can envisage people attempting to do that. I would say, wearing my trade union hat, that Irish Equity would not allow that to happen in this country and would fight it tooth and nail. They are a very determined group of individuals and I understand why they would not want it. We do not want it. This is art and we should not dismiss it or downgrade it to just a few pixels on the screen. We are talking about people who can bring words to life and make us cry or laugh. Creatives bring the written word on to the screen and we should not lose that.
