I will be very brief. I take on board what the Senators stated. Section 96 of the Bill deals with the audience council and paragraph (12) states:

An audience council may require its corporation to conduct, or arrange to be conducted, as far as is reasonably practicable, a survey of children and young people, for the purpose of ascertaining the views and interests of children and young people in respect of public service broadcasting by the corporation.

I will speak with the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, to see if we can include older people rather than 65 year olds and come back to Senator Mullen on Report Stage.
