Broadcasting Bill 2008 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed)
5:00 pm
Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)
I move amendment No. 53:
In page 59, line 9, to delete "subsection (1)" and substitute "subsection (2)".
Amendments Nos. 53 and 55 deal with incorrect subsection references in the text of sections 50 and 52, while No. 54 excises text in section 51(1)(b) rendered superfluous as a consequence of amendments on Committee Stage. Amendments Nos. 57 and 58 relate to section 56, which outlines the matters to be taken into consideration by the High Court and the broadcasting authority of Ireland when determining the amount of any financial sanction to be imposed on a broadcaster. The amendments rectify the text by substituting the word "co-operate" with the word "comply" in the context of consideration as to whether a broadcaster has co-operated with an investigation under Part 5 of the Bill.
