Mr. Michael O'Keeffe:

On the political broadcasting point, my response is similar to that which I gave Deputy Stanley. It is more challenging for broadcasters. There are more political parties and they are obliged under the legislation to provide fair and impartial coverage. We are there not to tell the broadcaster what to do but to step in in the event that the Deputy or other groups are dissatisfied with the approach. We are available and we will deal with issues as they arise on that basis.

The community sector is important to us. We have a sectoral development fund not just for the community sector but also for the commercial sector, which provides up to €500,000. It supports a range of initiatives and it supports the various networks that are developing across the sector. It also supports training programmes for radio and television, in particular. We undertake a number of research initiatives through which we support the different sectors. We put a great deal back into supporting them. They pay a levy to us and this is something we give back to this important sector. The three stands of community, commercial and public provide for a strong broadcasting sector throughout the country and, therefore, we are supportive of that.
