John Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Senators for their co-operation and their contributions. As Senator O'Meara said, the Bill started out in this House. There has been a long and detailed discussion, both here and in the Dáil on Committee Stage. As she rightly stated, the amendments reflect the views of the Opposition and of members of my party. The Minister also took on board some of the suggestions which were put forward by the IRFU and the FAI. I hope the Act will reflect what the people are seeking regarding the Broadcasting Bill.
