Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: I thank the witnesses for the presentation. I am interested in what they said about empowering citizens and that it is critical as the national broadcaster. I constantly talk about public transport and buses in my constituency, Kildare North. When I bring up buses, I incorporate the issue into climate change and climate action. The witness mentioned that RTÉ has a climate...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: We are facing what could be, if we do not get a grip on this, the end of human civilisation. I always say the planet will be grand. It is the human beings living on it in such a parasitic fashion who are the main problem. I am concerned that there seems to be very little cohesion between the advertising and editorial departments. As a public broadcaster in receipt of public money, does...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: I apologise for interrupting Mr. O'Callaghan but Mr. Woods appeared very defensive when the distance between the two editorial departments was brought up by my colleagues.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: I know that and what I said was that the cohesion between the advertising department and the editorial department seems to be lacking. Given that RTÉ is a public service broadcaster, does it not have a duty to look at that and-----

Réada Cronin: I will let my colleague in.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: I thank Ms Costello for her paper. It is really interesting and music to my ears. Even in politics sometimes, politicians do not talk about citizens anymore; they talk about consumers. Politics has nearly become something where people consume a brand. The level of transformation we need is massive. We must look at advertising. If people do not need stuff, should we really be encouraging...

Réada Cronin: What are the penalties when a company is found guilty of greenwashing?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: Is that sufficient?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of the Media and Communications in Actioning Climate Change: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: I do not think the penalty will stop greenwashing. Unless citizens search the website of the ASAI, they will not see it. The press release is the sanction. Neither the advertisers nor the ASAI will be required to take out space to express that the advertisement in question was wrong. The advertisement needs only to be withdrawn. People may be led to believe that it was only a short-term...

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: I listened to the Minister's response. I appreciate what the Minister stated about anonymising the audits and the difficulty in identifying slides. I wonder if there is any possibility of redesigning that system and looking at it again. I appreciate that the Minister is willing to look at another amendment. This stands out for me as well because Emma Mhic Mhathúna, who was from...

Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill 2019: Report Stage (7 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: The CervicalCheck scandal is a scandal in which many people become seriously ill and die. We very much welcome this legislation and the opportunity to speak on it. We have no issue with what is in the Bill, as such, or with the amendments but we have a serious issue with the absence of the duty of candour in the Bill. We need open disclosure. We must have an obligation on the clinician to...
