Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)

I second the amendment. Senator Norris has eloquently set out the case for it. Towards the end of his address he indicated the desire and intention, as provided for in the Bill in terms of television, to ensure that the Irish abroad have full access to what is available, using the technology. We should now use the opportunity contained in this legislation to extend this through the radio as well as the television network. In that regard, I am happy to second and support the amendment.
