- 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: To establish the full picture of what the potential financial hole at RTÉ will be, surely this figure is crucial. This could run into multimillions and could dwarf what we have already lost in licence fee renewals and new licences, for example. Surely the Department needs to be all over this in establishing how much is involved, not just on the Department of Social Protection side but...

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: On the Department of Social Protection side, the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media is actively engaging with a view to establishing the final settlement figure. I imagine that is happening at the moment.

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: We know that there is a liability there and this is going to have to be settled. It is not going to go away. It is there and it is going to grow. It is only going to go one way. In the future, regarding the funding of RTÉ, I would imagine this is surely going to have to be taken into consideration. The Minister is conscious of the Department of Social Protection liabilities but is...

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: As the Minister knows, the station is in dire straits financially. She knows that it is going to come back to her to financially support the organisation into the future. Surely, therefore, her Department has to be preparing for all eventualities. One of these huge liabilities that the organisation has is in its responsibilities to its workers. This is an area that has not been dealt with...

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Revised) (8 Feb 2024) Brendan Griffin: The Department needs to be fully involved here and at least make a provision for what will potentially be a huge amount that will have to be paid. This money is rightfully owed to these workers. The Minister also needs to speak with the chair of RTÉ about how these workers are being treated when they try to raise their plight. In my engagement with some of the workers at the centre...
