Broadcasting (Funding) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Section 2 also provides that I, as Minister, may direct the commission to amend or revoke a scheme. This could arise, for example, where the operation of a scheme turns up particular anomalies, difficulties or unintended effects. The Bill also provides powers to direct the commission to prepare a particular scheme, if for example it had not put forward for approval a scheme covering any one of the categories previously mentioned. The section finally provides that any scheme approved by me will be laid before each House of the Oireachtas.
