Alison Comyn (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Tá fáilte roimh ár gcuairteoirí go léir anseo inniu. I thank the witnesses for coming. I am probably in a somewhat unique position having only just become a Senator and joined the Members of the Oireachtas. I spent 30 years prior to this working in media, including television, radio and press, so I feel the witnesses' pain, as I said yesterday. I have lived through a lot of the experiences. For the sake of transparency, I will mention that I worked with Ms Ní Chaoindealbháin for many years in Sky News Ireland, UTV Ireland, though never in Virgin Media. For the sake of transparency also, I started out in Navan community television. That was not today or yesterday. Thankfully, there is no footage of it. I have probably thrown out a challenge to somebody to pull it out.
