Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2006: Report and Final Stages
5:00 pm
Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)
I share Senator Kenneally's views when he expresses understanding and sympathy for the motives behind this amendment. He is also correct to state that we cannot legislate for what goes on abroad. However, I raised a number of possible scenarios on Committee Stage that might help to address this.
If one wishes to view British television channels, one can do so by subscribing to Sky, Chorus or NTL. However, these are not free-to-air services, which is what Senator O'Meara's amendment is about.
