- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2024: Houses of the Oireachtas Commission (25 Sep 2025)
Eoghan Kenny: On that point, and I am conscious of the fact I do not want to disrespect any employee of the Oireachtas, what is the difference between a broadcast worker and a bar manager?

They are expected to sign on or to try to get another role. I am sure that will be the answer.
