Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs: Irish Film Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)

Peadar Tóibín: Absolutely, I agree 100% that one needs to have, first of all, a situation where workers can actually live a healthy life, as well, for a start.

Questions on Promised Legislation (14 Feb 2018)
