Mr. Harry Browne:

It depends on who can do this acting. That is what I would say. Certainly, as I said in answer to Deputy Murphy, I do not feel comfortable with suggesting that there is a new regulatory framework needed - in terms of a restrictive one.

Nor do I think the commercial media are currently in a position to reshape themselves somehow to avoid the pitfalls they came into before. It is all very well to ask what would be done in that respect but we are in our current situation. It is not a terribly good one for journalism.
