I refer to the Minister's objective, as stated at the broadcasting forum, of developing community and radio television and ensuring it survives and prospers in rural areas. Funding of €8 million will be provided each year. The funding will be controlled and submissions will have to be made initially to the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland before it can be drawn down by community radio or television. If we are to seriously encourage community radio and television, rather than paying lip-service to the ideal, commercial stimulus will be required if we are to get it off the ground.
