- Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (30 Nov 2022)
Imelda Munster: I add my voice in support of the amendment. There is a strong argument for a reduction in the levy given the service provided by local radio and the role it plays within communities the length and breadth of the State as part of its public service remit. There is also an argument to be made that a reduction in the levy is justified for local radio stations given that they pay the exact same...
- Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages (30 Nov 2022)

- Toll Charge Increases: Motion [Private Members] (29 Nov 2022)
Imelda Munster: The Government's eleventh-hour announcement is welcome but, let us be honest, it was forced to act. It had absolutely no intention of making the announcement in the absence of a public backlash and political pressure. This whole farce comes from the absolutely ridiculous contracts entered into by Fianna Fáil years ago. I have been raising this issue here since I was elected in 2016...

Chapter 22 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (17 Nov 2022) Imelda Munster: I want to talk about the nature of the scheme. The Ombudsman described it as excessively restrictive. After June 2020, when the individuals affected took the matter to court and won the case, nothing appeared to change. The Minister made technical changes but they did not alter the qualifying criteria for the scheme or make it easier for people to qualify. The board itself had a meeting...

Chapter 22 - Ireland Apple Escrow Fund (17 Nov 2022) Imelda Munster: Sorry, but in June 2020 when the High Court decision was made and those individuals won their case, the board was coming to the Department flagging that the scheme was not fit for purpose. The Ombudsman passed comment on it. Two and a half years later it has still not been reviewed. Is that correct?
