Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent)

I would if the Ceann Comhairle let me. If it is true that Fr. Reynolds offered to undergo a paternity test before RTE aired the "Prime Time Investigates" programme and RTE ignored this and recklessly carried on to air the programme, thus exposing licence payers, does the Government propose to bring forward legislation to ensure this type of action will never happen again and licence payers will not be exposed to massive payouts? Have there been payouts such as this in the past? What were the costs involved?
