Imelda Munster: Okay. That is not an answer to the question. I refer to page 5 of the Department's briefing for the committee. It shows the numbers of workers in the sector under its remit that rely on the PUP. At the end of October the number was 15,000. The EWSS supported 115,000 in the accommodation and food sector. Is that correct?

Imelda Munster: I asked the Minister about the figures that I quoted her and just asked if that was correct. It was about the 15,000 on PUP. Look, if the Minister is reading from a script I cannot expect her to answer the questions.

Imelda Munster: Can I ask the Minister about the cut in the PUP and EWSS payments that she would not answer directly even though she is a Minister in the Government that reduced the payments? I want to ask about her relationship to the press release from the music and entertainment sector. The sector stated that 75% of its members are experiencing cancellations for events in the month in December. It...

- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Key Priorities and Legislation of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media: Discussion (24 Nov 2021)
Imelda Munster: I want to touch on tourism. One of the greatest threats to tourism and hospitality at the moment is the skills shortage. We know that a significant part of the problem is working conditions. The committee recently heard from union representatives and some of what they said made for very disturbing listening. In correspondence with the committee, the Minister said that working conditions...

Imelda Munster: The committee is working on this issue. It had the unions in. We corresponded with the Minister on that and she still has not raised the concerns that she says she has with the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
