Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages
12:00 pm
Ciarán Cuffe (Dún Laoghaire, Green Party)
Deputy Broughan made the same Freudian slip as the leader of the Fine Gael Party in referring to section 31 rather than Standing Order 31. The restrictive nature of Standing Order 31 is not analogous to that of section 31 of the Broadcasting Act in its heyday when it restricted the right to freedom of speech.
