Broadcasting (Major Events Television Coverage) (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
When this issue was being dealt with approximately three years ago, TV3 said there was no chance it would invest in these areas. One reaches a stage of diminishing returns in terms of investment to expand the service. I would like the Minister to tell us how he knows with certainty that TV3 offers 90% coverage when we accepted three years ago that it could not do so. If Gaelic games were to be covered by TV3, all the matches Kerry play would not be received in parts of the county from which a quarter of the team come. That seems to defy logic. Therefore, I would like to hear how the Minister knows it has extended its service.
