Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

I have a point of order. I want to make this point because I may not be able to come in on the response. One of the proposals announced by the Minister today as a way of funding our broadcasting is for increased advertising minutes. This is a fundamental mistake. My children watch their television on Netflix. If we start to put more advertising on TV or radio, people will watch Netflix and listen to Spotify.

They will not listen to or watch Irish media. Funding it through increasing advertising minutage is not the way to go.

I appreciate the latitude granted to me by the Ceann Comhairle.
