Great. We will move on to programme B that deals with broadcasting. We are under time pressure and I urge people to keep the debate tight on programme B and the other programmes.

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Kyne, who has joined the meeting. We will deal with his sections shortly, although we are a little behind time. I call the Minister to make a brief opening statement on programme B.
