Mr. Bob Collins:

We are very clear with regard to the advertising minutage. It does not make sense that three separate agencies are responsible for the minutage for the three separate sectors. We believe a single agency should be responsible for that and we suggest the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland would be the most appropriate agency. We recognise that the Minister might want to reserve the right of approval in the cases of RTE and TG4, in line with the statutory position that has prevailed since 1960.
