I apologise for being late. I was at another committee. I believe the licence fee should go into a central fund, as mentioned by Deputy Cannon, from where it could then be divvied out to all media organisations to ensure they can all survive. I would like to hear the witnesses' views on that. A project to establish a community television service is being funded by my local authority in Longford to promote local organisations. Do the witnesses see such initiatives forming any part of their endeavours? Is there any way they could support such undertakings?
