That is great. Community radio is embedded within communities in inner cities and rural areas. I come from County Clare, where there are two effective community radio stations - Raidió Corca Baiscinn in west Clare and a radio station in the Scarriff area in east Clare.

Regarding the issues raised by CARE, there is clearly a major problem, one that has been discussed widely at this meeting. I hope that this forum will shine a light on the glaring gaps that exist. I was interested in Deputy Ward's comparisons with the NHS. I will give CARE the opportunity to go through its recommendations again, as this committee will carry out an interim report over the summer and later a final report, which we hope will influence the policies of this and future Governments. There is a significant job to do, and it will take time, but it needs to be done correctly. All of CARE's recommendations are important, but do Ms Dillon and her colleagues wish to elaborate on the critical ones?
