Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding (22 Jun 2023) Imelda Munster: I thank Mr. Ó Lionáin for that. I want to ask further about the Willis Towers Watson review that is being carried out by RTÉ regarding the gender pay gap and also the blatant pay disparity between Irish-language workers and those who do their work through the English language.
