Marie Sherlock: On one side we have a guarantee of no pay cut and yet people earning that little money, which is a modest income, were going through pay cuts. How did Mr. Tubridy feel about those pay cuts?

Marie Sherlock: I have two final questions, which are important. Mr. Tubridy said a few times today that his job is in front of the microphone, with words and not with the accounts and that he leaves the process to others. As a contractor, Mr. Tubridy is a company director. Every year, he and another director have to sign a legal document as company directors. Mr. Tubridy has to verify and sign off...

Marie Sherlock: Actually, it is much more detailed than that. He signs off on the veracity of the accounts. When he signs off, does he not take an interest in where some of those payments originated?

- 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: Lots of people want to see him back on air. Does he think that his integrity is damaged, given that he admitted earlier that he should have put up his hand? He received payments that none of us are happy with as regards them being ultimately for Mr. Tubridy's benefit, but were anonymised. Does he think his integrity is damaged?

- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Local Drugs Task Forces (5 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State for coming to the Chamber. I am conscious this is my first interaction with her in her role as Minister of State with responsibility for the national drugs strategy. My question relates to the north inner city drugs and alcohol task force and I hope that when the Minister of State came into this role, this was one of the first issues brought to her attention....
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Local Drugs Task Forces (5 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister of State. We need the report. She has been in her role for seven months. Our understanding since late last year is that the report has been prepared. It is telling that while the Government and, with respect, the Minister of State, speak about commitment to the task force they sit on a report for a period of seven months or longer. If it is not for that period, then...
- Seanad: Broadcasting (Restriction of Salaries) Bill 2023: Second Stage (5 Jul 2023)
Marie Sherlock: I thank the Minister for coming in. It has been a traumatic three weeks with regard to RTÉ and all the revelations that have emerged. I welcome the Bill put forward by Senator Mullen. It is obviously very timely. Pay caps in RTÉ is an issue that has been pursued by the NUJ and SIPTU for a long time. There is a particular need in this regard when we see the very large gap...

Marie Sherlock: I sincerely thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee today. I am conscious it has been a gruelling time for them all. It has obviously been a gruelling time for everybody in RTÉ, in particular those who are modestly paid and on insecure contracts. I am conscious this whole experience is taking a toll on everybody, but we are here because we all want a stronger and better...
