Broadcasting (Funding) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.

 

We are all aware from our experience of community and local radio that it broadcasts some wonderful programmes. If, however, one lives in counties Leitrim or Dublin, one will not hear a programme transmitted in counties Clare, Tipperary or Limerick. In the event that there is a public sector element – taxpayers' money – involved in encouraging people to provide and archive programmes of the type listed in the legislation, will the Minister consider legislating to ensure such material is made generally available on the Internet?
