Seanad debates

Broadcasting (Major Events Television Coverage) (Amendment) Bill 2003 [ Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil ] : Report and Final Stages.

 

The only point I would make, and this is being very brief about it, has to do with amendment No. 4. I wonder about the setting of a review, and subsequent reviews, "not later than three years" after the passing of this Act. I suppose three years is not that long a period, but I would pose the following query which the Minister of State might clarify. The amendment states, "the Minister shall review, from time to time", and therefore I take it that the Minister is providing in legislation for a mandatory review. I seek clarification that there will be a mandatory review and the first will take place in two years' time.
