Challenges Facing the Broadcasting Sector as a Result of Covid-19: Discussion
Imelda Munster (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I suggest to the Chair that it might be an idea, and I propose that we do so, given that the funding for the community round is being slashed by a third, for us as a committee to write to the Minister to express our concern that local radio stations are not included in the Government Covid-19 advertising funding. Looking at how things are going at the moment, unfortunately, we could be back to square one again over the coming months. It would be remiss of the committee not to flag that with the Minister. If there is agreement from the rest of the committee, I will propose it.
