Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport
General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Alison Comyn (Fianna Fail)
I thank the witnesses for attending. A lot of my queries have been answered. I have to concur with my colleague Deputy Byrne: the witnesses provide a vital service, and we thank them very much for that. There is no question that, as they themselves said, GAA+ and LOITV broaden the appeal of the sports to so many who cannot get to the venues for reasons of vulnerability, finances, etc. The witnesses want to expand their services as much as they can at home and abroad. Maybe they could explain to me about some of the hurdles they face at the moment that hinder that expansion. Does the Bill go far enough to address any of those hurdles? Perhaps we could start with Mr. Quinn and Ms McCoy.
