Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: It is very positive. These are volunteers who are doing these applications in the vast majority of cases. One thing that is also very positive is that there is a second chance now whereas in the past it was merciless for these volunteers. If there was one mistake in the application, that was it, it was put in the invalid pile and then there was hell to pay at AGMs, and stuff like that. At...

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: Does the Minister of State have an anticipated timeline for the World Rally Championship, WRC, application? I know he is very supportive of the proposal and of the application in principle. Is there a timeline for a decision regarding the funding? I think we all agree that it will be a very positive thing for Ireland and the regions. Without disclosing anything that might be sensitive,...

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: I have to go back to the RTÉ question. It is not going away, unfortunately. The more people I engage with and talk to in this regard and the longer it goes on, the more disillusioned I get with the organisation. I want to ask this in particular in the context of the bogus self-employment scandal in RTÉ of which we have been aware now for some time. The fact that it arose at all...

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: This would be the figure to make everything kosher in regard to what these workers should have got.

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: My understanding is that a ballpark figure does exist. Do we even have an estimated figure at this stage? Has the Minister been provided with an estimated figure?

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: It is not speculative to ask if the Minister has asked for the figure.

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: This is what I want to differentiate. There is the Department of Social Protection figure, and we know that is ongoing and it has not been rectified. Outside of that, there are workers who were deprived of the various benefits that come with being an employee of any organisation, let alone a semi-State organisation. In my view, RTÉ is completely abdicating its responsibilities to...

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: In the context of a potential further State bailout of RTÉ and in terms of the risks to the organisation of outstanding or potential future liabilities, surely this is a figure the Minister has established on top of the Department of Social Protection liabilities to employees.

- Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: Does the Minister acknowledge there are two elements to this? There is the liability to the Department of Social Protection in respect of PRSI payments and various other things that were not paid by the organisation over the years. Does the Minister also accept that, separately, there is an element in respect of the employees and what they should have received as employees versus what they...
