I would like to get the exact figure on the national lottery as well, particularly what it does and how much it takes in. What proportion of its money did it give to Sport Ireland? Will the Minister of State send me the specifics for Wexford? ...

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Supplementary) (24 Nov 2021)

Johnny Mythen: I was asked about funding and told that the organisation has received no funding whatever in any year. It is a serious sport and it is probably in every parish in Ireland.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: A Safe and Respectful Working Environment in the Arts: Discussion (17 Nov 2021)

Johnny Mythen: I thank the witnesses for coming here today and I admire their bravery in tackling this heinous behaviour. It really is disturbing. Can the witnesses from Comhaltas expand on their statement that the pace of change is slow and there can be a reluctance to accept new norms of society? Why is this the case? They emphasised the role that bystanders have to play to call out discriminatory...
