Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I welcome amendment No. 26, which acknowledges in a very real way the existence of community television in addition to community radio. We are getting rid of the phrase "sound broadcasters", which had limited the functions of the authority to considering needs associated with community radio. It will now be required to consider the needs of both community television and community radio broadcasters. This is a forward step.
