Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Future of Print Media and Journalism: Free Media Ireland

Mr. Peter Timmins:

There is one other area in response to Deputy Cannon. I thank the Deputy for his kind words about the Galway Advertiser. Mr. Varley will be delighted. We might add caravans to the distribution list if the Deputy keeps talking like that.

I had written to the Deputy previously on another issue when the media groups were being consulted. A start-up business owner can go into the local enterprise office, LEO, and get a trading voucher for online trading. Perhaps we could look at expanding something like that. For example, the LEO will provide a voucher for €2,000 or €5,000, for that business owner to use to develop his or her online web presence. What they can do with that funding is quite limited.
