Live Industry Supports: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2021-12-16
============================================================

Eugene Murphy (CC), Agricultural Panel

I acknowledge the hard work the Minister does. She did not expect to be hit by this tsunami. When Covid first hit, we thought it would be over in a number of weeks. We see where we are now. I know the Minister understands that it has been a hard time for musicians. She might take the following point on board. When the stakeholders forum takes place, sometimes in that debate the smaller musicians and engineers are forgotten. That is not intentional but they get lost in the big debate. That is where we are coming from. There is a cohort of workers there, though not a huge number, that are in a bit of bother and I know the Minister and her officials will address that.
