Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: RTÉ (Resumed) (13 Sep 2023)

Marie Sherlock: Does Ms Cusack think that lends itself to a lack of transparency? I am thinking in particular of the gender pay gap issue in RTÉ. Going back to the Resolve report, where some female members of staff are not feeling valued or indeed they are not getting the opportunities, does Ms Cusack think that system of allowances is perpetuating that divide between some workers?

Marie Sherlock: For the record, allowances are obviously important depending on the job, but there is the issue of where they lend themselves to a lack of transparency.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: RTÉ (Resumed) (13 Sep 2023)

Marie Sherlock: Can I ask about the negotiation with Ryan Tubridy and the contract or deal that was on the table? At the meeting of the remuneration committee on 16 August, there was obviously a discussion about it. One of the members of that committee, Mr. Conor Murphy, suggested that it should go to the board. I have two questions. First, should something like that not have automatically gone to the...

Marie Sherlock: I thank Mr. Shortt. I have a very last question. I am conscious that we have a number of board members here today who, apart from Mr. Kehoe, have not had an opportunity to have an input. Could each of them briefly set out how serious they believe the financial situation is for RTÉ now? With the benefit of a number of weeks of Mr. Bakhurst's leadership, to what extent do they...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I raise the issue of apartment defects. Before legislation was to be introduced, we were promised an interim relief scheme in January this year. I met Sam and Odette Doran and others from Park West yesterday. Many on the northside are facing bills of thousands of euro this year and are waiting for this relief scheme we are yet to hear of. Turning to the specific issue I came here to raise...

Seanad: Care Payments: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I move: That Seanad Éireann: recalls that: - the Citizens’ Assembly and Joint Committee on Gender Equality recommended a referendum to replace Article 41.2 of the Constitution obliging the State to take reasonable measures to support care within the home and wider family, and the Government has committed to a referendum on this in November, 2023; - there are over 500,000...

Seanad: Situation in Israel and occupied Palestinian territory: Statements (12 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House. It is important to state we are having these statements today because Senator Black, colleagues in Sinn Féin and others in this House, along with us in the Labour Party, have been calling for this debate.It needs to be had, of course, because we are on the back of looking at atrocities that have taken place in Jenin over recent...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee today. There has been a lot of controversy and unease about GAAGO. I want to ask Mr. McBennett a question about it being made free to care-giving establishments, hospitals and care homes. Obviously not every older person lives in a care home or a care-giving establishment. We have free public transport for people over a certain age....

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: That is an issue for another day. There are several references to women's sport in the submission from RTÉ, but we have not heard anything about the plans in this regard. I heard what was said about the Women's World Cup next week, equality of treatment and camogie. Does the RTÉ sports department have plans to improve or expand the coverage of women's sport, especially in those...

Marie Sherlock: I thank Mr. Tubridy and Mr. Kelly very much for appearing before us today. We have a situation where many people out there are very sorely disappointed that we have a much-loved broadcaster embroiled in such controversy, and now, we have the national broadcaster in a deadly serious situation. I thank the witnesses for the paperwork they gave to us today. I want to ask a series of...
