Criminal Justice (Temporary Release of Prisoners) Bill 2001: Committee Stage. - Local Radio Licensing: Motion.
I hope the Minister will consider an appeals structure. I also hope each county will have its own radio station. People should be told why they did not get a licence as that would leave them in a better position to apply for one in future. I hope local radio is not hijacked by commercial interests. It is ironic, given our history, that many of the radio stations in Dublin are owned by English or Scottish based companies. It is worth noting that 80 years after getting independence from England the main media group will have an English background.
