Vote 33 - Culture, Communications and Sport (Revised) (15 Jul 2025) Alan Kelly: I thank the Minister. We will have one small round of questions afterwards. I have a few questions and some observations. I thank the Minister for his frankness. The issue regarding TG4 is something that has been expressed by nearly every member of this committee.

Vote 33 - Culture, Communications and Sport (Revised) (15 Jul 2025) Alan Kelly: For our own members, we would probably do this post budget but could probably do it in one or two sessions. I had to speak at the IMRO launch last week; I would say I was a late addition. One thing that came up quite a bit was the whole issue around artists, because of AI and everything else, having to do more performances in order to have an income that is sustainable. When I spoke...

Vote 33 - Culture, Communications and Sport (Revised) (15 Jul 2025) Alan Kelly: I just want to let the Minister know there is messaging out there that people do not understand that. I would have had a question on it too. As regards resilience, are there any changes we are going to insist on? I am thinking of connecting that with consumer protection.

- Select Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 33 - Culture, Communications and Sport (Revised) (15 Jul 2025) Alan Kelly: Agreed. I have a couple of quick questions from the Minister of State, Deputy McConalogue. GAA integration is obviously a topic that this committee wants to discuss. It was one of the main topics when we discussed our topics at the beginning of the whole term and we will be coming to it in the autumn. I presume some sort of integration funding is likely.

Vote 33 - Culture, Communications and Sport (Revised) (15 Jul 2025) Alan Kelly: It would need to be multi-annual, I assume. My final question is on the post office funding.
