Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I request the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to come to the House to discuss the axing of major programmes on RTE Radio 1. Senator Norris raised this matter recently. It is unfair to radio listeners who have paid their licence fee that programmes they enjoy will be axed by a producer in RTE who has come from a small rural station in Northern Ireland. She had wielded the axe and there is to be a total reshuffle.
