Eamon Gilmore TD with Fionnuala Sheehan, Chief Executive of drinkaware.ie
Senator David Norris raised the appointment of Fionnaula Sheehan, Chief Executive of drinkaware.ie and chairperson of MEAS to the board of RTÉ.
According to the latest issue of The Phoenix, the Oireachtas Communications committee met in secret in July to propose and endorse nominees to the RTÉ Board. A working group was set up to process expressions of interest for the RTÉ board and it too met in secret. The Phoenix reveals the Oireachtas members in the working group.
With The Phoenix in hand, the Senator called for Minister Alex White to reject her nomination.
We’ll drink to that.

she said she’s standing down from MEAS and drink aware and ‘would have no further connection with the alcohol industry’, so the question is who will she be working for then? http://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/minister-urged-not-to-accept-meas-nomination-to-rt%C3%A9-board-1.1952837
of course the issues is her she the type that brings up racism ito defend in some bizarre way the alcohol industry http://www.meas.ie/news-and-research/press-releases/2014/excluding-key-stakeholders-from-the-campaign-to-tackle-alcohol-abuse-is-misguided-counter-productive-and-contradictory/

what is she wearing?
I dunno but Gilmore’s smile looks like the last thing a puppy would see before the sack is drawn shut.
What happened the loftus duo, have we forgotten about them already?
They got promotions I presume.
While this is obviously a non issue and only the most ardent lunatics here will get uppity about it, I’m still glad i watched it as Norris never fail to be entertaining:)
I’d row in with that.
And I.
this is your 2009 improved state board appointment process inaction
Maybe now she’ll stop applying the black stuff to her hair.
What are her qualifications to be appointed to this particular post?
I hear she owns a tv
Rte board has one person who has worked in radio and none who have worked in tv like seriously do they not realise it’s a media company no wonder this country is going backwards.
The puppet masters make the rules. It’s that simple.
Sorry Drogg, there’s plenty of experience on the board…. don’t know where you got that info from…
