One of the fundamental recommendations of our report is that an appeals mechanism should be put in place for those who have lost their licences. However, for whatever reason, the BCI does not seem to agree with this stance. There needs to be an individual body or board, totally independent of the Minister, the Department and the BCI, to which an appeal may be made and which will give the aggrieved party an adequate and impartial hearing. The only avenue available at present is the higher courts and this is much too expensive for the bodies which administer community radio. Appeal systems are in place for lesser bodies in other fields of enterprise which feel aggrieved.
