Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Sep 2020)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Cathaoirleach and colleagues. I will answer the questions in reverse order and I note Senators Boylan and Cassells raised this issue earlier. It is a glaring omission that people with experience and knowledge of local news, national news, digital news and all the new forms that we have are missing from the committee. To that end, when the commission was established yesterday, I...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Wage Subsidy Scheme (23 Sep 2020)

Regina Doherty: I thank the Minister of State and welcome his assurances that in the way it is designed, the wage subsidy scheme could not allow somebody to claim more than they would pass on to an individual employee.
