Mr. Tom McGuire:

The point has been well made in terms of levity and seriousness, and on a weekend magazine programme one needs both. In terms of "The Marian Finucane Show", particularly on Sundays, where the agenda for the first hour is driven mainly by newspapers, there will be a balanced panel but there may be just one formal political representative on any particular week. There may be more at other times. Generally it is shared out but it is taken into the mix in terms of the balance. That changes in the run-up to elections, as the Deputy said, and as in previous years, once we come into the run-up to the election, the formal political party representatives may not feature. We have done that in the past and we will take a view when we come to the next election. It is important to maintain balance.
