Broadcasting (Major Events Television Coverage) (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

I noticed an editorial in the News of the World recently which lavished praise on the Taoiseach for influencing British policy not to proceed with nuclear stations in the future. We know about processing at Sellafield. However, it is a bit rich to read that the Taoiseach seems to have more power than the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, in making a fundamental decision on whether Britain should proceed with nuclear stations. I give that as an example. If one reads such newspapers as the News of the Word over a period of time, one sees sycophantic tributes to various Fianna Fáil Ministers and soft profiles of them. Now that the general election is over I wonder whether that enthusiasm will prevail.
