Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Brendan Griffin: Does Mr. Conboy think it would be an idea that funding would go to the radio stations per track to encourage them to play more Irish tracks?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Brendan Griffin: What I mean is that effectively the State would be involved through subsidising, if we want to use that word. I do not like to use the word "subsidising" because we are encouraging and fostering art. Radio stations that are bold enough to say they will play 20% or more than 20% would be rewarded. The more Irish music they play the more they would get from central funding. Have the...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Brendan Griffin: The suggestion of a national strategy is a no-brainer. It really is the way to go. It is a really good suggestion. I am sure that any effort made in moving along these lines would have the full support of the committee. It would be important. I want to ask Ms Cappuccini about security for live performers. I am moving slightly off topic. I see that the issue particularly came to the...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Brendan Griffin: According to the reports I read prior to this meeting much of this was about coming and going to venues rather than being in the venues themselves. It is on the street when walking with a guitar.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Brendan Griffin: That is a shame. Perhaps the committee could write to the Minister for Justice to highlight that this has been flagged and it is an issue that needs to be followed up. I have been walking around Dublin for the past 13 years. I certainly feel less safe now, at night time in particular, than I did back in 2011 or 2012. Sometimes it is a person's own perception and a vibe but it does not...

Brendan Griffin: Yes, that is a shame. That is really not good enough.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Brendan Griffin: I am very sorry to hear Ms Cappuccini's situation. Given the amount of work and time that must go into creating art and for it not to be appreciated or to be given the level of recognition it deserves must be soul destroying. I hope Ms Cappuccini keeps at it. I was doing a small bit of research before the meeting. I have not listened to "A Bun Dance" yet but this afternoon when I go back...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Brendan Griffin: It is a very positive departure. The sentiment behind it is absolutely 100% correct. If there are tweaks or changes to be made, any feedback would be appreciated. It is a really progressive thing.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

Brendan Griffin: Perhaps we could write to both Ministers with a view to having that particular issue re-examined. It could easily be resolved in a social welfare Bill. I imagine that, from a monetary point of view, we would be talking about a really small part of the overall budget.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland (22 Nov 2023)

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (21 Nov 2023)

Brendan Griffin: I wish to raise with the Taoiseach the case of Cabot Financial Ireland. A quick look at its website introduces you to Sean Webb, Rachel Brown, Niall Sorohan, Gerard Clear, Tom Dillon and Michael Webb. These people are hounding a man of almost 80 years of age in my constituency for the balance of an old debt going back more than 15 years. This man is almost 80 years of age and in poor...
