Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 46:

In page 46, between lines 40 and 41, to insert the following:

"(5) A broadcasting code prepared by the Authority under subsection (2)(j) may prohibit advertising in a broadcasting service of religious advertising considered by the Authority to be intolerant of diversity, or divisive in its content or message, indeed the Authority shall reserve the right to prohibit all forms of religious advertising, as was the case prior to the Broadcasting Act 2009, should the Authority deem it necessary to introduce a new code to do so.".
