Simon Harris: It is. I will speak directly to the Minister of State, Deputy Butler. She is obviously familiar with the situation because she was at the opening with the Deputy. I will ask her to come back to him directly and to see what can be done.
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 Jul 2024)
Michael Healy-Rae: I believe the Cabinet is about to make an imminent decision on major funding for RTÉ without workable solutions being proposed for the independent sector. In the face of digital disruption and steadily escalating challenges and without any fair funding, the core news and current affairs services and resourcing are at risk of decline and serious erosion. I understand that in parallel...

- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: We are all almost duty-bound to name our local radio stations now. Not for the first time in this House, Deputy Michael Healy-Rae seems to be more familiar with the detail of some matters than I am. Let me assure him and, more particularly perhaps, radio broadcasters and the like that the Government has not yet made a decision. The Government intends to make a decision this month in regard...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 Jul 2024)
Réada Cronin: Ireland needs a register of people who have been convicted of crimes of animal cruelty. Following the "RTÉ Investigates" programme on Shannonside Foods in Straffan, I wrote to the Minister and asked if we could create such a register. He indicated that we do not need one because all cases are reported in the media. That is not the position at all. I will be bringing forward...

Martin Heydon: There are a number of cases, some of them historical, relating to that particular matter. They are before the courts at the minute, which restricts what we can say. The scenes we saw on the "RTÉ Investigates" programme were unacceptable. We have acted swiftly. Actions were in place prior to that because concerns had been raised. Work is ongoing to ensure that the highest standards...

Simon Harris: I have two quick matters to raise. I am conscious that not just my colleague but my friend Deputy Simon Coveney, the former Minister, has announced his intention not to seek re-election to the Dáil. As in the past in this House, when people announce their retirement, I want to thank him for his service to his constituency of Cork South Central, to his party but most importantly to his...

Deputy Sorca Clarke and I are...
- Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (10 Jul 2024)
Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Smith for raising this issue. None of us can comprehend the agony the Tighe family must be experiencing since Jean went missing in Portugal on 17 July 2020. She was reported missing, I think, by her boyfriend at the time. The family had not been contacted regarding her disappearance and in March 2021 they lodged a missing persons report with An Garda Síochána. I...
