Our people need the hope that comes from good, practical action, like the action we are proposing in this Bill. Renewable...

Current Issues Affecting the Health Services: Motion [Private Members] (13 Dec 2022)

Réada Cronin: For our health service to work, the professionals who work in it should be able to live in a decent home and make a decent living out of decent wages. Right now, that is not happening, as swathes of our most talented and committed healthcare workers are being forced to emigrate because they know they cannot afford to buy or even rent a decent home. The rents they are paying for shared...

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 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...
