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

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

Imelda Munster: We had a team of unions and other reps in a couple months ago and I asked each of them at the end their preference of funding, and all of them said direct Exchequer funding. Given the Future of Media Commission report, that was the one recommendation left sitting on the shelf, if you like. Would Mr. Bakhurst favour direct Exchequer funding? Is he frustrated that no decision has been made?...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Imelda Munster: On the situation in Gaza, it must be unprecedented for journalists and media to have so little access to a war zone. It was reported previously that international media can only cover the conflict if the State of Israel has given the okay to coverage beforehand. That is madness if it is correct. Is that correct to the best of the witnesses' knowledge?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Imelda Munster: A total of 108 journalists have been killed and quite possibly more. The families of journalists have also been killed. One cannot comprehend how Israel has been allowed to behave. Listening to the witnesses' suggestions, whether it is keeping pressure on the International Criminal Court, ICC, or Ireland intervening as a third party to the ICJ, are there sanctions for this outrageous...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Imelda Munster: With regard to the third-party intervention to the ICJ, we can sit here day in, day out and be sickened by what we witness in Gaza. Particularly with regard to today's topic, I propose rather than just listening and being sickened by it all that the committee write to the Minister and ask her to carry out that third party intervention on behalf of the Government and state the committee would...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Freedom and Security of the Press Operating in Areas of Conflict: Discussion (10 Jul 2024)

Imelda Munster: I want to ask a question of Ms Joris and Ms Evans. Ms Joris mentioned in her opening statement that countries like Ireland need to use their influence to ensure conflict parties are bound by international law. Can she comment on how we are doing at present and what we can do to improve this? I ask the same question of Ms Evans. I had raised the issue of journalists in Gaza and our...
