Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Shoplifting: Discussion (13 Dec 2023)

Marie Sherlock: I thank Mr. O'Driscoll. It is important to let Mr. Fee speak as well because I do not want to have a total Dublin-centric focus. It is important to get the Dundalk perspective.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: RTÉ Oversight and Long-Term Support and Funding: Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (4 Oct 2023)

Marie Sherlock: ...of RTÉ. I am sure the Minister has seen the poll over the weekend in The Irish Timesin which some 40% of individuals or households indicated that they are reluctant to or will not pay the licence fee. There have been statements from the Government on pausing reform or the decision on the licence fee and waiting for the reports to come early next year. What impact does the Minister...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: RTÉ Oversight and Long-Term Support and Funding: Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (4 Oct 2023)

Marie Sherlock: My next question is in regard to the Minister's Department and its relationship with RTÉ. Last year and the year before, additional funding was sought by RTÉ on top of the licence fee. What sort of due diligence or process is undertaken by the Department? Obviously, the commission makes a recommendation but I presume the Department also undertakes some sort of due diligence....

Marie Sherlock: ...years" and that email was written in 2020. I want to ask Mr. Kelly about the Renault deal because I am conscious that time is pressing on. We have two documents here. We have the contract for fees of €440,000 for 2020 to 2025. We have a one-year deal between Renault and Mr. Tubridy. There are no fees addressed in this document. Is there a separate document detailing the fees...

Seanad: Broadcasting (Restriction of Salaries) Bill 2023: Second Stage (5 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: ...have seen frenzied speculation in recent days about job cuts coming down the line, about the closure of the Cork studio and about other changes coming. On the one hand, we cannot have the Government saying it is pausing the review of the licence fee reform and yet RTÉ will continue to have that financial crisis this year. Notwithstanding the sins of a few at the very top of the...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (Resumed) (5 Jul 2023)

Marie Sherlock: ...also for Mr. Collins and Ms O'Keeffe. I am very thankful that Ms O'Keeffe is here, particularly as she is a former employee. On the impact of sponsorship deals on the negotiation of a contractor fee, I have a question on the determination of the overall fee negotiation. The presenter is not always aligned with the sponsorship of a programme. If there is new sponsorship, are fees...

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Transparency of RTÉ Expenditure of Public Funds and Governance Issues: Discussion (28 Jun 2023)

Marie Sherlock: ..., we would have a stronger RTÉ, a more transparent RTÉ and an RTÉ that has fairer working conditions. During the week we had statements in the media from the top ten RTÉ presenters about their fees. Were any of the witnesses aware of top-ups or side deals to those outside of the top ten presenters? I am conscious that we do not have the head of human resources...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Jun 2023)

Marie Sherlock: ...What has happened has given rise to profound questions with regard to the RTÉ board and how it could function and not have oversight of some of the large commercial contracts agreed by the organisation and fees paid to some of its staff. There are also questions about RTÉ's business model, in which it can treat some of its workers like gods, yet effectively then have a...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Feb 2023)

Marie Sherlock: ...I thank you very much, a Chathaoirligh, for your tribute to the late Niamh Breathnach. Niamh left a tremendous legacy in this country as Minister for Education, not only due to the abolition of fees but especially for her introduction of the Breaking the Cycle programme for schools in disadvantaged communities. As a personal friend to me and many others in the Labour Party, she was an...

Seanad: Childcare Services: Motion [Private Members] (7 Dec 2022)

Marie Sherlock: ...a place for their future children; - that the cost of childcare is having a real impact on family formation decisions for some families; - that the introduction of core funding is a welcome step to lowering fees for parents and increasing wages for workers; however, there remain serious issues for many small ECCE providers within our communities; - that Ireland has the second highest...

Seanad: Childcare Services: Motion [Private Members] (7 Dec 2022)

Marie Sherlock: .... That gap exists because women work fewer hours and because they get paid less. Ultimately we must have a universally available childcare system in this country at an affordable rate. Our call to cap childcare fees at €200 would only cost €275 million per year. That is not massive money in the context of what the State is generating in tax revenues. While I welcome the...

Seanad: Payment of Wages (Amendment) (Tips and Gratuities) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (29 Jun 2022)

Marie Sherlock: ...amendment No. 48. An employer does not charge an employee for the paper or ink used to produce the wage slip or the method an employee is paid. It is unacceptable that the burden of transaction fees with regard to the transfer of tips to workers would be placed on the workers themselves. It is unfair to ask low-wage workers in particular, and we are speaking about low-wage workers, to...

Seanad: Cost of Living: Motion (15 Jun 2022)

Marie Sherlock: ...a windfall levy on excessive profits made in the energy, transport, housing and food sectors due to rising prices; - take comprehensive action to make education free, introduce a universal public childcare model, bring forward the cap on childcare fees, and accelerate the implementation of Sláintecare; - meet any additional costs of living with Covid-19 through 2022 including the...
