Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Raidió Teilifís Éireann (19 Sep 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome what the Minister said to a degree, although I do not believe that my Bill could not hold RTÉ accountable to the Committee of Public Accounts.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Arts Policy (19 Sep 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I respect the arm's length principle but because the art forms I mentioned are not specifically listed, they have been excluded from certain grants and bursaries.
