Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Imelda Munster: I listened to the comments on the correspondence we received from Coimisiún na Meán in September regarding quotas. The commission referred to a minimum of 20% to 30%. From listening to the witnesses, though, they do not seem to be in favour of quotas as a means to an end. I believe they said that quotas would be forcing rather than encouraging. If not quotas, then what?...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Imelda Munster: I know that but we have representatives of the MEAI before us today. What have they done to flag this to the Minister, the Department or Coimisiún na Meán? It is clearly an issue.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Imelda Munster: The witnesses should prioritise that. As this issue has been going on for years, if they want a listening ear, want it to be addressed and are not entirely satisfied with the response from Coimisiún na Meán which we received in September, they should request a meeting and flag it up. The representatives of the MEAI talked about a national plan involving themselves, IMRO and...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Imelda Munster: The witnesses should sit down with Coimisiún na Meán - it was the BAI but is now all encompassed - and set priorities to overcome those problems because it is now up and running. Coimisiún na Meán is the new BAI with additional powers. To get this sorted once and for all and to iron out those problems and have some sort of national plan put in place, the witnesses' next...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)
