The NUJ has welcomed the acceptance by Simon Harris, Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs, that a review of media coverage of oil price protests across Ireland last week would not be appropriate.

The NUJ has described as "sinister and deeply disturbing" the call by Patrick O’Donovan, Minister for Media, Communications, Culture and Sport, for a Coimisiún na Meán review of media coverage of the recent nationwide fuel protests.

NUJ members at the Irish language station Raidió na Gaeltachta (RnaG) have welcomed an agreement with RTÉ, marking the end of an unfair two-tier pay system within Irish public service broadcasting through the assimilation of staff onto the standard RTÉ radio grading structure.

West of Ireland based freelance Stephen Corrigan has been elected as Cathaoirleach (Chair) of the Irish Executive Council (IEC).

‘Organising Together - Better in a Trade Union’ is the theme of the Irish biennial delegate conference that takes place in Dublin tomorrow, 8 November.

Motions on the need for long-term reform of the funding of public service broadcasting at RTÉ, and cuts to the winter fuel payment featured.

The union believes the proposal would set a dangerous precedent in terms of direct and indirect State interference in the remit of Coimisiún na Meán.

The National Union of Journalists has expressed “grave disappointment” at the decision of the Irish government to retain the current TV licence system while welcoming increased funding for RTÉ.

All staff employed at the Irish language service RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta will now enjoy pay parity with journalists working in the English language services.

The union said RTÉ’s strategic plan, New Direction, will present many challenges for staff at RTÉ and must be subject to intense scrutiny and negotiation.
