- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): Discussion (12 Oct 2023)

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): Discussion (12 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: What we are hearing all of the time is "legal advice privilege". This is something that could be cleared up. If RTÉ got outside legal advice and there is nothing to hide, it should furnish it. Did RTÉ furnish it to the CCPC?

- Public Accounts Committee: Appropriation and Expenditure of Public Moneys by RTÉ (Resumed): Discussion (12 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: RTÉ did not furnish the commission with the outside legal advice that said no further clearance was required. RTÉ did not use that as an argument to say “We got outside legal advice that no further clearance is required”. RTÉ did not produce that document to the CCPC.

- Situation in the Middle East and the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Statements (18 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: As we speak, ethnic cleansing of the world's largest open-air prison is happening. That is a war crime. The people of Gaza have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. To add to the torture of knowing that each moment could be their last as bombs rain down upon them, the Israeli blockade now means that Palestinians are left thirsting for water, hungering for food, suffering with no medicines...

- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Broadcasting Sector (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: I thank the Minister for the reply. It is good to get that update. I did submit two other questions that were disallowed by the Department relating to inquiries into RTÉ. One of them was about when RTÉ appeared before the Committee of Public Accounts two weeks ago. Serious concern has been raised about RTÉ's refusal to furnish us with the key documents around the setting up...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Broadcasting Sector (19 Oct 2023)
Imelda Munster: I sincerely hope he does. It is in the interest of RTÉ as much as anyone else's not to frustrate the workings of the committee and not to force us down the legal route of compelling the documents. The other issue I wanted to mention was in the other question that was disallowed. This is about the issue of bogus self-employment in RTÉ and the fact that €1.2 billion has...
