Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

As in preceding weeks, Report Stage of the Broadcasting Bill 2008 has not been included on this week's schedule. Is this an indication that the Government will do the right thing and adopt a policy where there will be one regulator in the area of communications? It would be preferable to having two parallel organisations which is not only going to be costly but which will create inefficiencies at a time when there is a convergence of technologies which requires only one regulator.
