Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Expert Advisory Committee Reports into RTÉ: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (2 Jul 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: I welcome the witnesses and thank them for the significant work they have invested in the strategy. Somewhere in the strategy, or perhaps in the video Mr. Bakhurst recorded, is the phrase "the third age". For me, this is very much an ambitious plan for the delivery of that third age. Thankfully, I have lived through all three, which is great. I remember sitting on my father's lap watching...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Expert Advisory Committee Reports into RTÉ: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (2 Jul 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: If RTÉ commissions a programme such as "Dancing with the Stars" is part of the contract negotiations for such a production that RTÉ retains the right to distribute it internationally? Does this become blurred?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Expert Advisory Committee Reports into RTÉ: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (2 Jul 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: As some of my colleagues already mentioned, we have understandably received a very large number of emails from current employees of RTÉ - mainly based in Donnybrook - expressing some very serious concerns about the strategy and its potential impact on them as employees and individuals. Phrases like "asset stripping" and "ripping the cultural heart out of RTÉ" have been used....

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Expert Advisory Committee Reports into RTÉ: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (2 Jul 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: I am particularly interested in the ambition in the strategy about regionalisation of production because I genuinely think there is an extraordinary opportunity out there. It is not like RTÉ is entering into this unknowingly or in the dark. If we look at what is being done out of Dingle, "Other Voices" is truly extraordinary and has become an iconic production for showcasing new Irish...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Expert Advisory Committee Reports into RTÉ: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (2 Jul 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: Is that a zero or an actual zero? I would ask RTÉ to seriously consider creating an Irish abroad app that is specifically targeted at our people internationally similar to what The Irish Times does on a much larger scale with its Irish Times Abroad, which is always very enlightening and encouraging. The RTÉ Concert Orchestra is an entity within RTÉ for which I have a...

Child Protection: Statements (15 Oct 2024)

Ciarán Cannon: Let us be honest - we can no longer describe Sinn Féin as a party to be trusted in managing any aspect of child protection or child welfare. In fact, it is emerging to be must closer to a secret society where protecting the organisation is absolutely paramount above all other considerations including the welfare of children and teenagers. All we need to do is look at its track record...

Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Charities Regulatory Authority (17 Oct 2024)

I was fortunate enough to head up a charity for almost seven years and I know the value of the work the regulator does in sustaining the public's trust in the charity sector as a whole and allowing charities to continue doing the good work they do.
