In the context of the recommendation on the global issue and the proposal to provide national coverage via a community model, Mr. O'Reilly is offering this by means of a commercial model. When representatives from independent broadcasters have come before the committee I have asked them about the level of co-operation between them and RTE. The ambition among our guests is to provide the same end result, namely, to connect with the diaspora and so forth. Is there co-operation between community and commercial stations?
