Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: What did Mr. Coveney forecast for years two and three? From the text, RTÉ is kind of acknowledging that it could have made a loss, even though it was not forecasting one, but it was obviously expecting to make a gain in year two or year three.

Marie Sherlock: I thank Mr. Coveney. I have a final question for Mr. Shortt. The external review was announced yesterday. It will be approximately eight months by the time we see something concrete from that process. What does he believe needs to happen in the interim within RTÉ? First, within the board, because he is on the board, what changes need to happen to try to reinstill confidence of both...

Seanad: Situation in Israel and occupied Palestinian territory: Statements (12 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House. It is important to state we are having these statements today because Senator Black, colleagues in Sinn Féin and others in this House, along with us in the Labour Party, have been calling for this debate.It needs to be had, of course, because we are on the back of looking at atrocities that have taken place in Jenin over recent...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I raise the issue of apartment defects. Before legislation was to be introduced, we were promised an interim relief scheme in January this year. I met Sam and Odette Doran and others from Park West yesterday. Many on the northside are facing bills of thousands of euro this year and are waiting for this relief scheme we are yet to hear of. Turning to the specific issue I came here to raise...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I thank Mr. Tubridy and Mr. Kelly very much for appearing before us today. We have a situation where many people out there are very sorely disappointed that we have a much-loved broadcaster embroiled in such controversy, and now, we have the national broadcaster in a deadly serious situation. I thank the witnesses for the paperwork they gave to us today. I want to ask a series of...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I am going to have to find it, but Mr. Kelly said 41% over the last five years.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: He said, "This represents a 41% reduction over the past five years" in an email dated February 2020. When I look at the figures of what Mr. Kelly set out in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and we expect that what was published was actually what Mr. Tubridy was paid in 2015 and 2016, it is approximately €2.5 million. Therefore, if he was to be taking a 41% reduction between the 2015 to 2020...

Marie Sherlock: I am sorry; I need to read this back: "This represents a 41% reduction over the past five years." Mr. Kelly said that in 2020. I do not think I am going to get an answer if Mr. Kelly can say it is from 2012.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I am sorry; Mr. Kelly's own words here do not relate to 2012. They relate to "the past five years", and he wrote this email in 2020. I asked Mr. Kelly whether there were additional payments for the years he has not given us details for today, that is, 2015 and 2016. Perhaps he may wish to come back and furnish the committee-----

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)
