Brendan Kenneally (Fianna Fail)

Does the Senator also mean to refer to football? It was marvellous to be able to receive a radio signal, although I accept that digital technology will allow for a much improved signal. I hope the Minister will clarify whether the need exists for provisions on radio broadcasting.

When referring to overseas services from RTE, we probably think of emigrants in the UK, to which a signal can be easily broadcast. How far will modern technology allow RTE to broadcast a signal? I presume it will not travel to far flung places such as the United States or Australia. I think, however, everybody will welcome the progress we are making in terms of this Bill.
