Mr. Jackie Conboy:

A year and a half ago, we met with the BAI, IBI, IMRO and RAP. RTÉ would not come to the table with us at the time. We discussed everything we are talking about here. We found that there was common ground. Everyone there wanted to try to do something positive to increase airplay and to go forward with this. The stations brought up certain things. Stations find it very hard to deal with the amount of stuff coming into them. Many artists do not know how to send material in. Stations could receive a CD with no name on it documenting the writer. The station would then have to try to ring up someone and find out whose track it is. They were giving us the other side of the problem.
