Public Accounts Committee: 2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (27 Apr 2021)

Imelda Munster: Ms Cusack stated that RTÉ is working with the Department of Social Protection and the Revenue Commissioners. I understand they contacted RTÉ after the publication of the Eversheds Sutherland report. At what stage are the discussions and when are they expected to conclude? Is it possible that a bill will end up landing at RTÉ on foot of the State broadcaster having engaged in...

Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment (27 Apr 2021)

Imelda Munster: I understand all that. My question was specifically about whether there is the possibility that a bill could land at RTÉ because of that, given that both the Department and the agency contacted RTÉ directly after the publication of the report.

Imelda Munster: Turning to the terms and conditions of employment, specifically as they relate to Irish language workers at Raidió na Gaeltachta, I understand that the difference in remuneration for comparable workers, such as a Raidió na Gaeltachta cláraitheoir and an RTÉ radio producer, could be up to 25% in potential earnings simply because someone chooses to work at the Irish language...

Imelda Munster: I am still quite aghast that Ms Cusack said she had no information about the disparity between the remuneration for comparable workers, particularly the 25% difference between a cláraitheoir and a producer at RTÉ radio. She may not be aware of this, but I would be surprised if she were not. The Connacht Tribunerecently reported that Irish-speaking workers at Raidío na...

Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Issues Facing Women in Sport: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Imelda Munster: As the Chairman said, the time available to us is extremely limited, which is very frustrating. The list of actions in Ms McNulty's submission makes for interesting reading.

Would it be broad enough to...

Imelda Munster: The LGFA has experienced great success and growth in recent years, more so than many other women's sporting organisations. What were the main reasons for that? Was it work at grassroots level, broadcasting coverage by TG4, support from high-profile sponsors or something else? I am asking this in terms of good practice and how it could be replicated somewhere else.
