In respect of what I will and will not consider, I will consider everything that is appropriate for me to consider as set out in the 2014 Act and as set out on the Department's website. I am not sure about the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland timeline because I have had a number of applications that I have had to consider up to now, none of which have been referred to the authority, but I will clarify that for the Deputy. I am not sure about the exact timeline within which the authority must report back to me but I will come back to the Deputy about that.
