-----particularly in the context of the arts where women and allies have been campaigning for policies of inclusion, equality and economic parity. Will the Minister, Deputy Heather Humphreys, be more ambitious with her appointments and give more consideration to the landscape in which she makes them?

Separately, RTE was already raised in the Seanad today. RTE, in a statement to the Irish Independent, stated "to achieve stronger efficiencies and value for money, RTE is to make changes to how it produces young people's programmes.”It goes on to state "RTE is not reducing its commitment to younger people's programmes, nor its spend". If so, why is this change being made? I suggest it is an ideological decision. Will the Leader invite the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment to the House to address the issue? I am concerned that RTE is failing in its commitment to the Oireachtas committee and young people.
