My political group does not use such a process. It seems parties regularly ring RTE seeking to control or wanting to control a lot of the broadcast.

Does RTE adhere to this? We heard about a programme where there was no one from a particular party on it for six weeks. They were then on it for the next six weeks. Basically, it was payback time.
