Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2006: Committee Stage

 

3:00 pm

Mary Henry (Independent)

I listened to his programme for many years even though, thank goodness, I did not have much to do with emigration. We should not be too modest or parochial about who will listen to and look at these programmes. RTE should lift its sights rather than remembering the people in Dagenham, many of whom are dead. RTE is now broadcasting to a totally different generation of Irish people. When I was in the south of Portugal recently, where my friends were able to get RTE on the radio, I was informed that most of the private jets at the local airport belonged to Irish people.
