Other Questions: Bullying in the Workplace (14 Nov 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: The document I have here is the Irish Equity document on bullying and harassment. I am amazed that the Minister has not yet read it. It shockingly states that 60% of workers in the arts have been bullied while at work and that 70% of those bullied did not report it, which is incredible. It states that 60% of people who work in the arts work in a freelance manner and those two issues are by...

Other Questions: Bullying in the Workplace (14 Nov 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: There is a crisis in the sector. The Minister has levers of control. One is money. The Minister can refuse to fund organisations that are not working properly. She says there are laws and policies. They are patently not working. A person's only current recourse to justice is to go to the front page of a national newspaper or to minister Joe Duffy and that is not good enough.

Peadar Tóibín: I have been raising this issue with the Minister for 18 months through parliamentary questions in the Dáil, through the media and in committee. This information should be in her hands. The report her Department has published is a whitewash. The Minister has seen a letter detailing the bullying that is happening in the National Museum and yet it has been dismissed in the Department's...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed) - Priority Questions: National Cultural Institutions (14 Nov 2017)

Peadar Tóibín: The Minister says that she cannot get involved in HR matters. That is a statement worthy of Pontius Pilate. The Minister operates the funding for the museum. In fairness, she responded to the crisis that developed in the theatres in recent weeks. She spoke about a master plan being developed for the theatres. What we need is a plan to deal with the disaster in the National Museum. There...

Peadar Tóibín: In the last few weeks, a number of women have stood up and identified sexual harassment and bullying at the highest reaches of cultural institutions in the State.

Why, in 2017, must women use the front...
