Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Business of Joint Committee
Engagement with WAVE Trauma Centre (9 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: We observed at the last meeting - I think members observed it among one another - that when we went to Northern Ireland recently to visit different groups, we noted the different people in attendance when we went to the WAVE Trauma Centre. I will not go further than that.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: Engagement with Londonderry Chamber of Commerce and Foyle Port (16 Dec 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank Mr. Clancy and Mr. O'Kane for attending the meeting. It is fantastic to hear about the fintech opportunities that are developing. It is a great body of employment to be developed. It is what is needed. I have two questions. Will Mr. Clancy outline the different experience, sector by sector, of the protocol over the last 12 months? When the committee was in the North the members...

Violence Against Women: Statements (19 Jan 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am glad the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, and Deputy Gannon highlighted the #NotAllMen movement that emerged last week because it is all women, and all women all the time. It has to be called out. Any of those men who were unwise enough to have their little feelings hurt in the context of the debate last week can just take a hike or spend that time thinking about how they can make...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (20 Jan 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I ask the Minister, Deputy McEntee, to give more detail on the extensive suite of legislative measures she announced yesterday in respect of sexual offences, particularly the welcome legislation regarding non-fatal strangulation and stalking. Can she outline the timing for that and what she expects to be able to bring to the House later in the year?

Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (20 Jan 2022)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCeann Comhairle. I thank the Minister for bringing this Bill forward to enable us to discuss it. I also acknowledge Deputy Funchion and her work as Chair of the committee which did such significant work to analyse where and how this Bill should go. She will be returning to the Chamber shortly as she has been here all along. I am not a member of that...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the RTÉ witnesses for attending. I want to focus on the other aspect of RTÉ's revenue, the commercial side, which the witnesses say amounts to 41%. Obviously, there is a lot of focus here on the licence fee. I see in the briefing material the witnesses provided, for which I thank them, that there is a strong focus on the licence fee and the threat to Irish programming...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Perhaps the chief financial officer, Mr. Collins, could give it to me. I am seeking to determine the cost here and how it compares with that in the UK market.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is what I am asking. I am not asking about other Irish markets. RTÉ has such a dominant position in the market. Its strategy on pricing and commercial advertising has an effect on the rest of the sector, which is very important to note. What is the unit price and how does it compare with an equivalent unit price elsewhere? If, for example, Procter & Gamble wants to sell...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am looking for a value. The market comparisons were valid when we talked back in April about the risk of talent flying to other markets, for example. Therefore, they are relevant. I am just looking for the unit price of advertising and how it compares to that in the UK.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Whose rules are these specifically? Are they RTÉ rules or different rules? I do not mean statutory rules, because that is obvious.

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: All right. I have brands that tell me that is not so and that they have looked to advertise on RTÉ and to try to develop their brand on television to those eyeballs, and have not been able to or have been cut off, having advertised previously either in the RTÉ Guide or on other RTÉ platforms. It might be something to go back to.
