The committee's report deals with the subject of the licensing of local radio. As Members are aware, licensing of local radio services is a particularly sensitive matter. The Oireachtas has determined that licensing decisions should not be taken by politicians but by an independent regulator. I agree with that principle. It is important for the political system, and the Oireachtas specifically, to actively engage in the development of the policy in this area. When I say the Oireachtas has already decided that the decisions should not be taken by politicians, that works both ways. As I have said repeatedly, a Minister should not interfere in the granting of licences but, equally, a Minister should not even be seen to interfere in decisions made by the independent regulator. Senators and Deputies will be aware that there have been people and concerns who have been unhappy with decisions made by the independent regulator, as set up by the Houses of the Oireachtas, but people have endeavoured to lead in deputations to me as Minister in order to complain about the decision of the independent regulator. I repeat that people cannot have it both ways. If we want an independent system, it has to be independent in all its facets.
