Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: National Cultural Institutions (National Concert Hall) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee Stage (19 Oct 2022)

Imelda Munster: The Bill refers to the titles of the groups, namely, the RTÉ Philharmonic Choir, the RTÉ Cór na nÓg and the RTÉ Cór Linn, and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra. These have not existed for months. Do any of these groups have legal personalities in legislation or is this the first time they are being mentioned in law? If this is the case, should the focus...
