Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (2 Jul 2025)

Seán Kyne: I thank Senators for this contributions. Senator O'Loughlin raised the fact no music festival since 2018 has been broadcast or streamed by RTÉ. I agree with the statement by the Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland that the failure by RTÉ to cover Electric Picnic is a missed opportunity to showcase Irish performers. The Senator mentioned Junefest in Newbridge and the...

Seanad: Sea Fisheries: Statements (2 Jul 2025)

Seán Kyne: I wish the Minister of State well in his role. I thank him for coming to the Seanad to provide his statement and listen to contributions from Members.

What I have heard from fishing communities over many years, and the...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Jul 2025)

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Jul 2025)

Seán Kyne: I thank the Chair and all the witnesses for presenting here this morning. I thank them for their service both here and abroad as well as the UN. I have a similar line of questioning to the previous speaker and others. Going back to the heading level of the Bill, which refers to an international force, this would still include UN-led or organised missions and missions led or organised by,...

Seán Kyne: Dr. Berry and others mentioned missions they have been on, such as the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon. If there had been political interference from a P5 member and the mandate was ended and that happened on a Monday morning, practically, what happens next?

Committee on Defence and National Security: General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed) (1 Jul 2025)

Seanad: Nursing Homes and Care for Older Persons: Statements (26 Jun 2025)

Seán Kyne: I acknowledge public service broadcasting and the role of RTÉ in showing this footage and going undercover. When you query paying a television licence fee, this is public service broadcasting at its best, unpalatable as it may be to watch and as uncomfortable as it may be for family members, I am sure. I understand from talking to colleagues in the Portlaoise area that there were other...
