Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement: The Northern Ireland Economy: Discussion (Resumed) (4 May 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: We have heard the fantastic news today that the Minister, Deputy McEntee, has had a baby boy. Huge congratulations to Helen and Paul. It is powerful proof for young women watching that they can hold high office and still be supported in having a baby. However, as the Tánaiste said, we have more to do. As Deputy McEntee has said, that was a temporary sticking plaster. I hope today...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank our witnesses for being here today. In particular, I thank the representatives of RTÉ for "Home School Hub" which has been a lifesaver for many people. I take from Ms Forbes's opening remarks that we have a big structural funding problem with RTÉ, which is accessed by 94% of people and 90% of people choose RTÉ as their main news source. It is clearly in a dominant...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: August. I thank Ms Forbes. What I am curious about is that from a consumer's perspective, television has changed considerably. The licence fee is one of many fees that are available for accessing content. People might have some combination of Sky, Virgin, Eir, sports channels or Netflix. The cost of television is much higher from a consumer's perspective if one has a Sky package and pays...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I checked last night. It is more than selective; it is all of this week's major political stories, for example. I presume there is a feed through, because what RTÉ wants from Facebook is deriving the advertising from billions of eyeballs. Facebook is deriving information from people to better target them. It is profiting from this advertising model by people going on Facebook and...
