Gaza: Motion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas le Páirtí an Lucht Oibre as an rún seo a chur os ár gcomhair. Tá Fianna Fáil agus Fine Gael ag gníomhú amhail is nach bhfuil an chumhacht acu níos mó a dhéanamh. Tá an chumhacht acu. Dúirt an Chúirt Bhreithiúnais Idirnáisiúnta an-shoiléir go bhfuil dualgas – ní...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I want to go back to the IT debacle. I have a quick question and others will flow from it. Is the PeopleSoft programme still being used today? It is 24 years old. At this stage, without any live support or any back-up support, it is at its end of life as a system.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Yes, it is at its end of life and it has been for quite a number of years. Which company is hosting it at this stage or providing back up?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: So BearingPoint has no role in it at this stage?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The original procurement was for five systems to be replaced, three of which were HR and only two were done, so not even half of the project was got up and running. The finance part was got up and running but not the HR part, which would be vital, to most people.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: There is a logic that all big organisations have to upgrade or update their IT systems. However, at one stage, there were three vendors. Then two of them colluded to win the contract, or that is how it appears, because RTÉ ended up with BearingPoint and Unit4, with BearingPoint winning the contract and then employing one of the under-bidders. That, in itself, seems to raise questions.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It seems odd that the winner had to depend on an under-bidder. Did that not raise concerns at the time that they could not deliver and had to bring in Unit4?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will now address the issue of the dismantling of structures in RTÉ. Different departments are earmarked for "increased commissioning", which is a signal for dismantling or getting rid of some departments. Is it intended, in the future, to close the HR department or outsource its functions? What does RTÉ intend to do with the departments that make religious programmes,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have a number of questions on the coverage of the genocide in Gaza but there is not enough time. Recently, RTÉ reported an address in Italian by the new Pope in which he called for the release of all hostages. In RTÉ's commentary, this was amended to the release of all Israeli hostages. That is a change in language. My question is on whether the witnesses can assure us that...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am looking for a breakdown of the departments from which the voluntary exit programme applications are coming and information on how big the departments will be in the future and what size they were in the past. I am not expecting that information now. Are the witnesses aware of low morale within Raidió na Gaeltachta, especially among those who have been there for a long time and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: At the moment, when a programme is rebroadcast for a second time, RTÉ is going to performers and asking them to sign away their rights for the future with one-off payments. Is Mr. Coady saying that is not happening?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Policy, Governance, Expenditure and Administration at RTÉ: Discussion (28 May 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am happy if the information is supplied to the committee at a later stage. I am not expecting it now.
