Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: Issues Facing the Early Childhood Sector: Discussion (7 Nov 2023)

Seán Sherlock: .... I take the points that have been made about core funding. Let us talk about a publicly funded model and using the other educational areas as a benchmark, which are private and public schools, and fee-paying schools and non fee-paying schools. Is it now the case that if one wants to be a fully private model, and if one has people who will pay the fees, then survive on one's own terms...

Ivana Bacik: ...week. On childcare, we see far too little and the changes made are delayed for too long. I have already spoken about the Labour Party's proposal. The Government has been boasting about the so-called 25% cut to fees, but that is delayed until next September and it is an average cut. My party colleague, Senator Marie Sherlock, published examples last night of what the change will really...

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...two weeks ago, there would not have been the loss of an entire day of criminal cases. The Bar Council was not in any way aware of any move by the Government to do any sort of restoration of fees. If the Minister had said to the Bar Council two weeks ago what she has just said to me, its day of action would not have occurred, which was flagged on 12 July. As outlined in the budgetary...

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Budget Statement 2024 (10 Oct 2023)

Gerald Nash: ...payment for those in real need, targeted at those children who need it most to eradicate the scourge of child poverty. Nowhere does this budget disappoint more than on childcare. It promised little and delivered less. The Minister only just managed to persuade his Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael colleagues at the 11th hour that childcare fees should come down by the promised 25%. It...

Seanad: Access to Third Level Places and Student Accommodation: Statements (4 Oct 2023)

Rebecca Moynihan: ...the major crisis in student accommodation. A student march on the crisis took place today. It was organised by the Union of Students in Ireland, USI. Our students are paying some of the highest fees in Europe, but they are also being crippled by the cost of accommodation in our cities. It is impossible for students. Where housing is concerned, we need an Ireland that works for all,...

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...

Childcare Fees: Motion [Private Members] (3 Oct 2023)

Seán Sherlock: .... I have checked the Minister's speech against the delivery. The wording of the Minister's speech, as distributed, states: - Does Sinn Féin support Core Funding? - Does Sinn Féin support the fee freeze? - Does Sinn Féin support the use of Core Funding to improve staff wages? I can only speak for the Labour Party because I think the Minister has articulated that he is...

Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (27 Sep 2023)

Ivana Bacik: ...transition. For families and households squeezed by the cost-of-living crisis, it is particularly galling to see energy companies making record profits. It is unsupportable that people are facing increased energy costs and fees for energy services when energy companies are making record profits. There has been a slowness and delay in energy companies meeting renewable targets. We are...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (26 Sep 2023)

Public Accounts Committee: RTÉ Commercial Arrangements: Mr. Ryan Tubridy and Mr. Noel Kelly (11 Jul 2023)

Alan Kelly: ...have provided documentation, in fairness to them, relating to the side payment or side deal. The email from Breda O'Keefe in RTÉ states that "we can provide you with a side letter to underwrite this fee for the duration of the contract." That evidence is compelling to our committee. It quite obviously completely contradicts the evidence given previously by RTÉ. They are...

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...

Report on Section 481 - Film Tax Credit: Motion (6 Jul 2023)

Gerald Nash: ...in contracts are routine in Ireland. That effectively means actors and writers, by dint of their circumstances, are often in a position where they often have to sign away their rights for a fee. The real magic for somebody who works in the sector, especially on the creative side, is the ongoing royalties and payment derived from their creativity and their work. That is where the real...

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.
