Minister Catherine Martin’s proposed external review of RTÉ will not only focus on governance and finances but also on culture. It is essential for Mr. Kielty to understand that a few beers will not solve the issues before he arrives at Montrose in September. Once he crosses the Rubicon, PR handlers will no longer be able to protect him.
Tom McElligott from Listowel, Co Kerry, should recognize that reducing the TV license fee would be unfair to the majority of RTÉ staff. Any ‘corrective action’ should target the minority responsible for the problem, not the hardworking employees who are underpaid and undervalued. Calls to revisit or reduce RTÉ’s funding would not only be unjust but also detrimental to the national broadcaster. Such actions could potentially satisfy those in the Oireachtas who are against state enterprises or services.
Brendan Mac Court urges the citizens of Ireland to stop hiding behind other nations and voice their own opinions. The media should stop giving disproportionate coverage to a vocal minority and instead focus on the opinions of the majority.

The composition of the recent Defence Forces Commission was biased towards a pro-EU military stance. The majority of members were ex-military and officials who favored increasing military spending.

Alan Whelan proposes a solution to the issue of pristine school textbooks being disposed of every year. The Department of Education should allocate funding for textbook purchases to secondary schools, encouraging them to maintain and reuse textbooks with minimal edition changes. This would not only be environmentally friendly but also cost-effective.
The recent assault on Ukrainian actor Oleksandr Hrekov is deeply distressing.

They also hope that the perpetrators of the assault are held accountable.
The high number of assaults on frontline HSE workers is a concerning issue. The government and management’s response has not been effective. To improve the safety and security of these workers, it is necessary to provide more robust training for security staff and utilize criminal law legislation. On-the-spot fines have proven to be ineffective, and a charging system should be implemented to hold offenders accountable for assaulting HSE staff.
