Fisheries and Coastal Communities: Statements (17 Jun 2021)

Johnny Mythen: I must start with the recent European Commission decision that fishers must weigh their catch at the pier. Be under no illusion that this will be, as described by local fishers, the final nail in the coffin for the fishing industry. In County Wexford, fishers landing at Kilmore Quay bring their catch a mere 200 m from the pier to the factory to be weighed. It is entirely counterproductive...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Jun 2021)

Johnny Mythen: I will speak today on behalf of the families whose loved ones attend the Camphill Communities facilities in Duffcarrig in County Wexford.

The areas of disinformation and media literacy are important but are also notoriously difficult...

Johnny Mythen: I agree with Deputy Dillon and Senator Cassells. There were three head changes beforehand which we were not made aware of by the Minister. She apologised for the disruption to the committee. I would say that every member was at least mildly embarrassed. I am glad that community radio stations will be exempt from the levy. I am concerned about medium-sized radio stations such as in...

Johnny Mythen: How did the Department reach the figure of €250,000? As I said, most smaller radio stations have 30 to 40 people working at them. That seems to be low.
