The register will be published on a quarterly basis and will include the name of the employee, details of the activity and any payment or benefit resulting from the activity 'in a banded system'.
The 2 Johnnies have spoken out ahead of RTE releasing their first Register of Interests – saying it is “inaccurate” to call them influencers.
He said: “Not really. It’s still unclear how that will play out. It’s new ground. It’s really the mainstream media like radio and newspapers who talk about it and they talk about influencers. But I think it is inaccurate for Jennifer Zamparelli and Carl Mullan to be called influencers.. we’re content creators.
And despite the furore over their announcement last week, Johnny B said hosting a prime-time afternoon radio slot of the last two years has been “a very positive experience overall” for the duo, and they will work with RTE again. “We both write the songs. A lot of the songs come from conversations we have on the podcast. The topics of conversation on the podcast, it has become a safe space for people to talk about life in rural Ireland and people tell us their first shift, their first ride or moving back in with their parents. All of those things seep into our writing.”
“We finish on the radio and we go into the biggest week of our lives. "We go into our own one-day podcast festival in St Anne’s Park with 20,000 people on June 8 and then we have two days of podcast recording to do and then we’re flying to America on tour so there is no time to mope about.”
