Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2006: Committee Stage
4:00 pm
Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)
I support Senator Quinn's amendment which is, as usual, a practical and sensible approach to an important issue. As he quite rightly said, money is being used — I do not want to say "wasted" — collecting the licence fee which is then not available for its initial and most important purpose, namely, public service broadcasting. It is a worthwhile amendment and I hope the Minister will consider it.
