Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Imelda Munster: The Department can revert to me on that and it can perhaps revert to me on whether it has plans to run those two processes in parallel. It would certainly help and it is quite astonishing it has not been done. The other aspect I wanted to touch on was the housing maintenance budgets. Local authority income from rental is less than half of the response maintenance, and that is not taking...

- Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (19 Nov 2020)
Imelda Munster: The Future of Media Commission is up and running and it will examine a wide range of issues but the question relates to concerns within the sector in terms of the length of time it will take to report.

- Other Questions: Covid-19 Pandemic (19 Nov 2020)
Imelda Munster: I thank the Minster but as she is aware, I am talking about the short-term media Covid task force.

The Minister said the commission will address the issues into the future in a long-term...

- Other Questions: Radio Broadcasting (19 Nov 2020)
Imelda Munster: At the most recent committee meeting, the local radio sector representatives were of the opinion that they will not qualify for that grant. Maybe the Minister could clarify it for them for their own needs. I also asked the Minister about considering an additional grant for local radio stations. Maybe she could clarify whether she intends to give that additional grant. The BAI levy,...
