Dermot Ahern (Louth, Fianna Fail)

It is not for the Minister to decide whether an issue of competition is involved. It is entirely a matter for those who feel aggrieved. The law is in place to allow the Competition Authority to intervene in such cases. I am not sure whether there is a deficiency in the law regarding broadcasters but that comes within the competence of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment which takes in the Competition Authority.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
