- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2020)
Imelda Munster: I do not think many people would disagree with that. Another thing I noted was that the ETBs are involved in settling legal disputes. Would it be possible for the Comptroller and Auditor General to do a report about all of the legal settlements by the ETBs, including the cases and the costings? Would that be possible? There seem to be fairly substantial moneys involved.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (16 Dec 2020)
Imelda Munster: Yes. Would it be possible to get information on individual cases, including the reason for the settlement? I heard what Mr. McCarthy said and we would not want to be making judgment on anything but would it be possible to get costings and all of that for individual cases?

I start with TG4, and the vision Mr. Esslemont touched on for changing the funding model for broadcasting. Could he expand on that and give us some further information? On the Future of Media Commission, is Mr. Esslemont hopeful that the licence fee will be addressed...

Imelda Munster: I will start with Mr. Mulrennan's call for funding supports for the sector. He is looking for supports similar to those given to other sectors, such as local broadcasters, in the form of a once-off grant of €2.6 million. Mr. Mulrennan mentioned that we also have a Minister with responsibility for media. Has Mr. Mulrennan's body met the Minister and made its request? If so, what was...

Chapter 7 – Catering and Ancillary Services in Prisons (10 Dec 2020) Imelda Munster: That is disappointing. The Department and the IPS were reported to have made an apology but the witnesses are not willing to stand over that and are not prepared to comment on whether those apologies were justified.

Chapter 7 – Catering and Ancillary Services in Prisons (10 Dec 2020) Imelda Munster: I did not name anybody in particular. I was talking about the judge's report and the findings in same. This relates to the issue of protected disclosures and the hell that some prison officers reported being put through having made such disclosures. Do I take it that the witnesses are not going to comment at all on that particular case?

Chapter 7 – Catering and Ancillary Services in Prisons (10 Dec 2020) Imelda Munster: Okay, and the same applies to Ms McCaffrey. I ask about the situation in the IPS today in comparison to when the complainant first raised issues, which were subsequently ignored? What can be said about reform since then?
