Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

It is disappointing, but not surprising, that the same ad hoc and disjointed approach to broadband is being taken to broadcasting matters. Is it not bizarre that the main broadcasting Bill was to establish the new broadcasting authority of Ireland, which was to subsume the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland, yet this Bill refers to the BCI? It is an incredible mess in terms of legislative strategy.
