Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Committee Stage. - Local Radio Licensing: Motion.

 

It is unsatisfactory that some radio stations must go to the High Court, the Supreme Court or the European Court of Justice to seek rulings and judicial reviews. That is why I urge the Minister to consider an appeals structure. It is also unfortunate that the assets of people who are unsuccessful in getting a licence, but who had a licence in the past, are devalued overnight. I am not sure what the solution is, but something must be done. I hope the current review will consider some of the issues I have raised.
