Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Jim Jennings:
I will speak to the sound and vision because Deputy Dooley suggested that a section of sound and vision could be allocated if this committee was looking for recommendations. We would be in favour of that. It would be a good idea, not only for ourselves but for Virgin Media One. Independent radio broadcasters would also be interested in that. Local radio and independent broadcasters sometimes do not have sufficient funding to deal with some of these issues. I believe a general consensus would be found within the broadcasting landscape for something such as that. However, people would say the same about other particular issues but it is up to the committee to decide what its priorities are.
On the genres and how that is applied by the BAI, that is a matter for the BAI to decide.
