Broadcasting (Funding) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

I congratulate the Minister on his foresight in establishing this fund to ensure that Irish culture and language, the environment, our history, etc, are not forgotten. This will be seen in the future as a huge milestone in Irish broadcasting, where, for the first time, part of the licence fee will go to the private sector. This is something for which it has campaigned for a long time and now that it is to be achieved, I hope it will make a success of this new opportunity and properly fulfil its responsibilities towards programme making.
