- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of Media in Climate Action: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: I thank the witnesses. RTÉ and the development of ads was touched on, with the relationship between it as the broadcaster and the advertiser. It was about the developing the ad, the pitch and the particular focus. Is there a role for RTÉ in that, or is it entirely led by the advertiser? When the advert is prepared, is there a role for RTÉ in assessing the content of it? I...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of Media in Climate Action: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: I thank Mr. Mullen. I am conscious of time. To both sets of witnesses, I pose that question on a potential transition towards placing a ban or restrictions on advertising fossil fuels or some reference to the climate impact of various products. How would that type of transition be envisaged?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of Media in Climate Action: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: No, I will clarify the question. If I set out a scenario where this or a future Government was moving in the direction of restricting the advertising of certain sectors or perhaps outright bans in some cases, what would RTÉ like to see happening from its perspective as a broadcaster and an organisation that benefits from advertising revenue in terms of how that process might be managed...

Brian Leddin: I thank Deputy O'Rourke. We were on track to finish as 12.30 p.m. until Deputy O'Sullivan arrived. I know he was listening and is interested in the subject so I will allow time for him to contribute if he wishes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of Media in Climate Action: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: That is not true. I just want them to be smaller, lighter, more efficient and less carbon intensive.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: The Role of Media in Climate Action: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: I ask RTÉ to send on that information to help us. We hope to prepare a report. We will take this session and the session of almost two years ago, put those together and synthesise that into a report with recommendations for the Government. We hope to do that in the next few weeks. If the witnesses wish to send any further information to us in that short timeframe, we would appreciate...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Progress on Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: We only have a few minutes left but I want to pick up on the discussion around sustainable cities and communities. One of the more significant pieces of work that the Government is doing at present relates to sustainable cities and communities, which is the national planning framework review. I do not know if any of our guests want to comment on this but it seems that it does not get the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Progress on Sustainable Development Goals: Discussion (8 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: Irish Rail is not here to answer that, but in fairness to it, it has probably been starved of investment going back decades, if not generations. It has probably been five or six decades. It is at the point now where it is being blamed for the lack of a fourth track on the northern line and for it not being possible to provide the services. People suffer, give up and turn to commuting by...

Brian Leddin: Thank you for that. It is past 2 p.m. so that is all we have time for. I thank our guests for coming here today. We really appreciate their time and expertise. The discussions we have had today are part of what has become an annual event. We have set a strong precedent at this committee that we will have an annual discussion on progress on the sustainable development goals. It is...
