Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport

MeDeMAP Research Project: Engagement with the National Citizens' Parliament for Media and Democracy

Ms Moya Ní Cheallaigh:

One other aspect that shocked me was that the local papers do not have the funding, staff or money to go after stories. They are not able to interrogate a story. They are supposed to be there to hold people accountable, but they are running here and there with a couple of people trying to cover so much. There is a lot of burnout and frustration within the industry. We thought that a universal basic wage system would work well.
