Ms Evelyn Cusack:

On diversity and inclusion, this area has been under-resourced. We have been very successful in some areas and there is a lot of work to do in other areas. One of the recommendations from the expert advisory committee was that that needs to be bumped up in terms of visibility and being more front and centre. That is something we are going to take very seriously.

Over the past three years, we have introduced an internship programme which is designed to bring people from all walks of life into the organisation. That has proven to be very successful. It includes people from diverse backgrounds and all that that entails. There are five interns from last year working on sport. We are trying to find ways to provide opportunities for others to commit the organisation in an environment where we have low employee turnover. We have to try to create a pathway and pipeline for the future and this is one area where we can do this. We bring in, I understand, 14 interns every year. A number are in Raidió na Gaeltachta or the Gaeltacht. We are working on it, but the Senator's point is spot on. There is a lot more that can be done and it will be, given that priority and focus.
