- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (13 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I raise the issue of apartment defects. Before legislation was to be introduced, we were promised an interim relief scheme in January this year. I met Sam and Odette Doran and others from Park West yesterday. Many on the northside are facing bills of thousands of euro this year and are waiting for this relief scheme we are yet to hear of. Turning to the specific issue I came here to raise...
- Seanad: Care Payments: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I move: That Seanad Éireann: recalls that: - the Citizens’ Assembly and Joint Committee on Gender Equality recommended a referendum to replace Article 41.2 of the Constitution obliging the State to take reasonable measures to support care within the home and wider family, and the Government has committed to a referendum on this in November, 2023; - there are over 500,000...
- Seanad: Care Payments: Motion [Private Members] (12 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister for her reply and thank everyone who contributed, namely Senators Ardagh, Burke, Boyhan, Pauline O'Reilly, Wall, Hoey, Currie and O'Loughlin. I again thank Family Carers Ireland, representatives of which are in the Gallery. Baby Willow was with us for a time and Snowflake, the support group in north County Dublin, was hoping to be here too. We are grateful to the...
- Seanad: Situation in Israel and occupied Palestinian territory: Statements (12 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State for coming into the House. It is important to state we are having these statements today because Senator Black, colleagues in Sinn Féin and others in this House, along with us in the Labour Party, have been calling for this debate.It needs to be had, of course, because we are on the back of looking at atrocities that have taken place in Jenin over recent...
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee today. There has been a lot of controversy and unease about GAAGO. I want to ask Mr. McBennett a question about it being made free to care-giving establishments, hospitals and care homes. Obviously not every older person lives in a care home or a care-giving establishment. We have free public transport for people over a certain age....

Marie Sherlock: For some of us, the access issue calls into question the very existence of GAAGO.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Future of Sports Broadcasting: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: That is an issue for another day. There are several references to women's sport in the submission from RTÉ, but we have not heard anything about the plans in this regard. I heard what was said about the Women's World Cup next week, equality of treatment and camogie. Does the RTÉ sports department have plans to improve or expand the coverage of women's sport, especially in those...

Marie Sherlock: Coverage of League of Ireland matches is patchy. Games are shown on television, including Virgin Media, on some Fridays but not on others. I am picking up on the point made by Deputy Andrews. Can that coverage be improved?

- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I thank Mr. Tubridy and Mr. Kelly very much for appearing before us today. We have a situation where many people out there are very sorely disappointed that we have a much-loved broadcaster embroiled in such controversy, and now, we have the national broadcaster in a deadly serious situation. I thank the witnesses for the paperwork they gave to us today. I want to ask a series of...
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: In Mr. Kelly's letters of correspondence back and forth, he talks about a 41% reduction over the past five years.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I am going to have to find it, but Mr. Kelly said 41% over the last five years.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: He said, "This represents a 41% reduction over the past five years" in an email dated February 2020. When I look at the figures of what Mr. Kelly set out in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and we expect that what was published was actually what Mr. Tubridy was paid in 2015 and 2016, it is approximately €2.5 million. Therefore, if he was to be taking a 41% reduction between the 2015 to 2020...

Marie Sherlock: I am sorry; I need to read this back: "This represents a 41% reduction over the past five years." Mr. Kelly said that in 2020. I do not think I am going to get an answer if Mr. Kelly can say it is from 2012.
- Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (11 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I am sorry; Mr. Kelly's own words here do not relate to 2012. They relate to "the past five years", and he wrote this email in 2020. I asked Mr. Kelly whether there were additional payments for the years he has not given us details for today, that is, 2015 and 2016. Perhaps he may wish to come back and furnish the committee-----
