Broadcasting Bill 2008: Committee Stage (Resumed)
8:00 am
Seán Power (Kildare South, Fianna Fail)
To follow up on what Senator Walsh said, a scheme shall provide for separate terms and conditions of licensing. There will be two aspects to that, the non-commercial aspect mainly for educational research purposes and the other aspect for commercial purposes.
Section 114(1)(e) provides that an objective for RTE and TG4 is to maintain archives and they can use public funds for this purpose. The older we get the more important these things become. We have placed great importance on it in the Bill. I thank Members for their contributions.
