I was delighted to see in excess of 7,000 people on the streets of Sligo last Sunday vociferously campaigning for the retention of their local radio station. It was a real example of people power. Now is the opportune time to debate No. 15 on the Order Paper, namely, a report by Senator O'Meara laid before both Houses relating to the issue of the Irish Radio and Television Commission and the right of appeal. It is clear an injustice has been done to the people of the north-west and that the view needs to be articulated and expressed in the House. Will the Leader allow Senator O'Meara's report to be debated in plenary session? The voice of the people of Sligo should be heard. It was interesting that, the day after their demonstration, I did not see one reference to it in any of the national newspapers, which is another example of the bias against the regions.
