David Norris (Independent)

He is involved in the profession. I tabled that amendment. I note that while a large number of stations use the DAB system, the Swedish Minister for Culture recently turned down a proposed extension of this system in Swedish radio.

The Seanad has done a good job in opening up this area of radio broadcasting. We collectively as Members of the Seanad should say we did a good job, we took on our brief and this is one of the things Senators are supposed to do. I am glad we did it. We also put on record some of the concerns of people who are more technically proficient than I am. I make no apology for tabling one sample amendment, getting the updated information on record, having the opportunity to hear what the Minister had to say and getting his detailed reply to the amendment.
