Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Further and Higher Education (8 Jul 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister for being straight and upfront on the issue. I am glad that he has acknowledged that there is a dynamic between SOLAS and the ETBs and that this is probably an annual thing but there are still issues. If I went on the Internet tonight, I would see that there is allegedly an issue in Donegal. It is reported that there is a shortfall of €2.1 million. In Louth and...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Further and Higher Education (8 Jul 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: If I understand the Minister, some ETBs are deferring. The issue still needs to be dealt with. Are we just kicking the can down the road and, in essence, just leaving the issue for the Minister to solve in the next budgetary cycle? He has said he became aware of this a month ago. Given the numbers of apprentices at the various stages, this should have been identified an awful lot sooner....

TDs like myself come in here every week talking about delays for speech and language therapy and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: It is definitely not affecting attendances or anything like that either. I have not noticed it and I go to a fair few League of Ireland matches. The debate when Sky Sports was launched years ago was that it might impact gate receipts, but LOITV does not seem to be doing that here.

Pádraig O'Sullivan: It is like what Mr. Quinn just said about young people in particular. It is great to see them take out their phones for Cathal O'Sullivan scoring a screamer from 30 yards out for Cork City. We can take our pick of Cork players from last weekend. Maybe it could be one of the Downeys taking a ball from the air. It is great that young people now are able to see that, particularly on the apps...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I was going to ask the same question because Mr. Scanlon outlined the impact on the FAI. The figure of 40% is substantial. Would Mr. Quinn like to take the benefit of a minute or two to detail what that situation actually leads to? Will it be a reduction in capital spending for clubs and so on? Turning to Mr. Scanlon, I like the whole model that is being run with LOITV. I think it is...
