Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport
General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Brian Greene:
In the context of community media and community radio, there are people employed full time so there are rights to be respected there. All of the stations, through their licence, are signed up to the community radio charter for Europe, the AMARC charter. Workers' rights are enshrined and supported in one of the ten clauses of that charter. There is a variety of funders but workers' rights are carried through the ethos and governance of the stations, such that they must be protected.
