Seán Fleming: I see many things on Saorview that I do not see as part of my Sky package. I know that RTÉ has to pay to have them on Sky, but it has much content that is not getting to those of us who watch television programme on Sky. RTÉ does not have the RTÉ 1+1 channel on Sky.
- Public Accounts Committee: Vote 29 - Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (3 May 2018)
Seán Fleming: Why not? It is a big loss. I want to watch RTÉ 2+1, but I cannot do so on Sky. I am sure this affects 750,000 houses.

Seán Fleming: At what stage is the process?
- Public Accounts Committee: Vote 29 - Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (3 May 2018)
Seán Fleming: How long will that take? The hundreds of thousands of homes in Ireland which take their TV service from a Sky dish are missing out on much of RTÉ’s output. Then RTÉ complains to the committee about the competition in the market. It is like my local newspaper complaining that its sales are down when it does not put copies in all of the shops in the area. Do the witnesses...

- Public Accounts Committee: Vote 29 - Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment (3 May 2018)

A piece of history was created today which marked their first appearance which I think went well. The meeting has been informative which is important and one of the reasons we are here. Our next meeting is next...

- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (26 Apr 2018)
Seán Fleming: Thank you, Deputy. The first two sentences in that paragraph are stunning. Galway and Roscommon Education and Training Board says it is committed to complying with procurement legislation but that the current financial system is not fit for purpose and the board is not permitted to purchase a new one. That is a damning indictment of the Department. Of course we will take this up with the...

Seán Fleming: We are going to write to the Department of Education and Skills and ask for a detailed response, point by point, specifically and to the last paragraph. It is a damning indictment. We are trying to talk about procurement. The education and training board maintains that the system is not fit for purpose and that the board is not permitted to correct it. That is from the Department. We...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (26 Apr 2018)
Seán Fleming: The question is whether those responsible did anything in terms of national procurement when they were setting it up. That is agreed. No. 1232B is from Mr. Ray Mitchell of the Health Service Executive in response to the committee's request for a copy of internal audit reports regarding Our Lady's Hospice in Harold's Cross in Dublin. The correspondence includes two audit reports and a...
