Michael Finucane (Fine Gael)

The Bill states:

The Minister may, where he or she considers it is in the public interest, direct an event organiser who has entered into an agreement or arrangement with a broadcaster in respect of the broadcasting rights to a designated event to give to the Minister, at the Department of Communications the Marine and Natural Resources, within such period specified in the direction, a copy of the agreement or arrangement.

The report is given to the Minister. To what degree is this in the public interest? How does the public know about this agreement?
