Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Expert Advisory Committee Reports into RTÉ: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (2 Jul 2024)

Michael Ring: I thank the Cathaoirleach. I will be very brief. I welcome everybody and wish them well in the job they have to do. I have always been a supporter of RTÉ. I am not going to pretend, in case Deputy McGrath gets upset, that I have been praising the organisation, but we all know what went on in the last few years was a disgrace and Mr. Bakhurst has been sent in to clean it up with his...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Expert Advisory Committee Reports into RTÉ: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (2 Jul 2024)

Michael Ring: That is fine. The other issue is that in spite of what people will say, we get great value from RTÉ for TV licence. Sometimes RTÉ does not sell that enough. I listen to people complaining about paying their licence fee, yet the same people have Sky outside their houses. They are probably paying €1,000 a year for it. They may not realise they are doing that because they...

Some of the people who presented these shows thought they were bigger than RTÉ, but...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Expert Advisory Committee Reports into RTÉ: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (2 Jul 2024)

Michael Ring: My final question relates to staffing. I hope Mr. Bakhurst and the team remember that they have loyal people working in the organisation. They are not the public face of the organisation but they work in the organisation. I hope Mr. Bakhurst and his team will protect as many of their jobs as possible, particularly as these people have been loyal to RTÉ. They are very upset at what...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Agricultural Schemes: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (3 Jul 2024)

Michael Ring: I ask the Department to get the payments for TAMS out as quickly as possible. Farmers need that money. They have been waiting for it. The Department allowed large numbers of people into that scheme last year, which was appreciated. It is a good scheme. I ask the Department to try to get the payments out to farmers because, as I said, they are in need of that payment.
