I mentioned trusted content in the local media sector earlier, and I would like to pay tribute to my own local stations, Shannonside FM, Midlands Radio 3, and Athlone Community Radio, all three of which I deal with on a regular basis. I compliment them on their trusted content.

We recently met with Google regarding the issue of online platforms paying for that trusted content. It is my understanding that agreements have been reached with a lot of the regional newspapers, with regard to content. Have any overtures been made to either the community or the independent radio sector regarding agreements such as that in recent months?
