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

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am sorry to go on and on about it, but in terms of Facebook, RTÉ has a significant critical asset in its newsroom and there are so few of those assets with content at that scale and of that quality. I pay the TV licence fee for that public service content, but it is coming out for nothing. Last night, for example, I went on Facebook. I went into the news app. Ms Forbes referred in...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: Could I ask Ms Forbes about the land sale some time ago to Cairn Homes, which I know she is happy to speak about today? The land was sold at a moment in the market at a one-off price. How did RTÉ originally acquire the land? Was it part of a public service transfer, and if so, when? I just do not know the answer to that. What was the original source of the land RTÉ has?

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

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I understand that. What I am curious about is whether consideration was given to alternative options to a single once-off moment-in-time sale. Were any long-term revenue raising options considered? I ask that because of the long-term difficulties that RTÉ, especially with structural funding and pension funds. A moment-in-time sale only represents one option. For example, was...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: That is fine. I will move on to ask Ms Forbes about the Eversheds Sutherland report and this question regarding competition and competitive talent in particular. It is of interest because it is very visible. I appreciate that it is a very small part of RTÉ's employment profile generally, but it is a visible one in which people are interested and also an aspect that I think frustrates...

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I am sorry for interrupting and I apologise for cutting across Ms Forbes, it is just that time is so tight. The market, though, is necessarily local or linguistic. There is not a competitive European market for talent. It is not as though an RTÉ presenter is going to go off and land a gig presenting in France because there are obvious language barriers. There is even the very local...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I have one observation on the back and forth between the commissioner and the other witness. I appreciate all of the different perspectives but there is an unusual tension. It is very obvious to see. Having watched some of these interactions with public bodies for some time at this stage, I am aware it is never as straightforward as observers may sometimes try to say it is. I am a little...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: General Data Protection Regulation: Discussion (27 Apr 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: The question relates to the Data Protection Commission. I am coming to it from the perspective of constituents and from consumers who find all of this very difficult. They are, in large part, aware of the general rules but not necessarily what they cover, how to access them and so on. This includes the Article 5 rules for data being stored only for as long as necessary, or the big...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Passport Services (22 Apr 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: A passport is a bit like a security blanket. It is something that we need to know is in a drawer for the day when something happens and we need it. We do not know why we will need it in future. Perhaps it may be to travel to see a relative. That is what I am trying to articulate. People have understood that the service has had to be closed. I thank the Minister of State for...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Passport Services (22 Apr 2021)

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill: I thank the Ceann Comhairle and also the Minister of State for attending to listen to us raise this significant issue for people. Obviously, passport services have had to be decreased and the Passport Office closed for this period. What I want to ask about is the contingency planning for reopening. There is a significant backlog in excess of 80,000 applications. We were getting queries at...
