Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Arts Council Grant Management IT System: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Jul 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: That is all right; I will take it. I thank the Department officials for coming in again. I was not sure where I would start, but I might just pick up on what Senator Comyn said about the legal challenges and where those are at. I was really surprised to see the clarification in Mr. Ó Coigligh's opening statement around the cost, and when the Arts Council or the Department was told to...

To get an idea by way of background, do some people want to be contractors or would they rather be employees? What way is it working out? I ask because every organisation is different.

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: I understand. I want to quote a response that the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, gave on 29 April to a parliamentary question on postmasters and the Karshan ruling.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Future of the An Post Network: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: They are two State bodies. There is a lot of conversation in the two bodies around PRSI workers and contractors. On the additional €5 million, it sounds like there is a lot to do and a lot that needs to be done to keep the show on the road. The digitalisation of communications poses challenges for the postal network so is the extra €5 million enough for everything that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: Future of the An Post Network: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

Evanne Ní Chuilinn: Do not trust computers; it is a trap. I am conscious that we are talking about the future of the An Post network. Last year, in Dublin 12, we had an unfortunate situation when one of our postpersons retained a lot of post which resulted in people missing appointments, including medical appointments. After the fact a lot of post was found in a room of a house. An awful lot of people did...

They have qualified for phase 2, the first games of which took place last weekend. However,...
