Mr. Brian Greene:

In the most recent elections, when the paid journalists' shifts were over or there was no funding to keep them there all weekend, volunteers in community radio were given business cards and told to contact RTÉ and local radio. There is great co-operation at local level, and we should do more of it. The people who can stay there longest are those who are not being paid, namely, the volunteers in community radio. That is the anecdotal evidence I have from what I saw happening around the country.
