Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2006: Committee Stage
3:00 pm
Feargal Quinn (Independent)
I did not realise Senator Mooney's suggestion could be a potential solution to the problem. A cousin of mine who lives in Newcastle, County Down, regularly contacts me to express her frustration that although the town is close to the Border, she cannot receive RTE. It may be due to the physical proximity of the Mourne Mountains or the Cooley Mountains. The various solutions proposed by Senators Mooney and Henry deserve attention. There must be a strong body of people in Northern Ireland who would like to participate in an all-Ireland television station.
