Chris Andrews: How much has RTÉ invested in GAAGO?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)
Chris Andrews: Given that people pay a licence fee already, is it fair to say that RTÉ is using GAAGO to double-charge the public for broadcasting which should be available as a result of paying a licence fee?
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)

- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)
Chris Andrews: It says in the document presented by Mr. McBennett that RTÉ plans to have 1,000 hours of sport. RTÉ will show 44 hours of League of Ireland coverage out of that 1,000 hours.

Surely the remit of a public service broadcaster is to promote our domestic game and our international teams...

- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Local Authorities (21 Sep 2023)
Chris Andrews: I was just going to say that. It is a nationwide issue. I am sure the Minister of State is aware that Fórsa members in local authorities across the State are in the middle of industrial action. As a public representative, I have seen first hand over the years the brilliant work the estate managers and area officers do for and across communities in my constituency. I know the pressure...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Local Authorities (21 Sep 2023)
Chris Andrews: I agree that this affects all of us in the House. It is an important issue because, like Deputy Collins said, vulnerable people contact us. The reality is that management seems to be sitting on its hands and is content to allow this dispute to escalate. Staff levels are depleted - estate managers who work on the front line are not being replaced for months. That is the case in my...
