Mr. Ó Broin has an issue with the establishing of a business relationship as outlined in head 123. He is concerned about what happens if he already has a business relationship. If there is an existing business relationship, which then tries to submit political advertising, that would trigger this aspect of the Bill. There can be an existing relationship but if it gets into political advertising, as defined, then it would trigger that aspect of the Bill. Does Mr. Ó Broin think that is a way of dealing with this issue?
