Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin (15 Dec 2022) Imelda Munster: Without a doubt. The State's financial watchdog is telling the OPW that this contract was clear, that the OPW did not follow through and that it was lackadaisical with taxpayers' money. The OPW could not give a hoot or a damn. How dare they.

Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin (15 Dec 2022) Imelda Munster: Yes but we have gone through the other tenders where there is wanton waste of taxpayers' money. Here was a contract that stipulated clearly that the money was to be handed back. The witnesses have come in with an attitude of "Who shot John" and have said that complex legal advice has been sought. We have asked the State's financial watchdog whether or not that contract was clear and we...

- Capacity in the Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: In 2006, hospital overcrowding was declared a national crisis. Declarations were made by the then Fianna Fáil-led Government. Each Fianna Fáil- and Fine Gael-led Government since then swore that this would be resolved. Despite that declaration, and all the statements on resolving hospital overcrowding from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael health Ministers, and Fianna Fáil-led...
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of the Media Sector: Discussion (18 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: I welcome everyone to the committee. I will start with RTÉ representatives. Looking through their opening statement, they said they had delivered 42 hours of premium Irish dramas last year. Was that a typo, by any chance? It seems to be the bare minimum. Is that correct?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of the Media Sector: Discussion (18 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: That is okay. I just thought that might be a typo.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of the Media Sector: Discussion (18 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: That is fair enough. I just thought it was quite strange when I looked at it. Back in November, the Minister said that RTÉ was carrying out a review of the pay grades, which was to be completed by June of this year. Is it still committed to that timeline?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of the Media Sector: Discussion (18 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: Can Mr. Lynch confirm whether or not that review into pay grades would include the disparity of pay between workers working through the Irish language in Raidió na Gaeltachta and those who work through the English language in radio stations?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of the Media Sector: Discussion (18 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: Including that.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of the Media Sector: Discussion (18 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: The last time we had RTÉ representatives in, they said that it was not, so I wanted confirmation that it would include that.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of the Media Sector: Discussion (18 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: One would imagine a public service broadcaster that is publicly funded could not have discrimination or pay disparity within its own workers who work either through the media of English or Irish. That is good to have that confirmed. In her statement, Ms Craig talked about multi-annual funding arrangements, but she did not say what they were. Could she outline those for us? If I am...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (19 Jan 2023)
Imelda Munster: The Government states that the average wait for a national car test, NCT, should be 12 days. In reality, 60% of NCT test centres have no appointment available within the next five months. As of two weeks ago, nine testing centres had no appointment available until August. Drogheda is one of those centres. As a result of the long wait, the certificates of roadworthiness of motorists'...

Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Imelda Munster: I will touch on AHBs. If smaller AHBs look to wind down and given that State funding or backing has been provided, what regulatory oversight does the AHBRA have, once the loans are repaid in full, particularly if the AHB is not looking to deliver additional housing?
