Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Challenges Facing the Broadcasting Sector as a Result of Covid-19: Discussion (17 Nov 2021)

Johnny Mythen: I, too, would like to pay tribute to the witnesses' organisations, and especially my local South East Radio. They lifted the spirit of rural Ireland. As politicians, people phone us often, and there are many people out there who are very lonely and isolated, and the witnesses' organisations helped to raise their spirits and helped to ease their minds. I thank them very much for that. ...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Challenges Facing the Broadcasting Sector as a Result of Covid-19: Discussion (17 Nov 2021)

Johnny Mythen: Can the witnesses give us a feeling of the condition that they are in at the moment? How many staff are part time? As Senator Cassels raised, have they lost many young journalists?

They emphasised the role that bystanders have to play to call out discriminatory...

Is it working successfully?
