Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

I wish I had more time because it is a very interesting topic. If a television station dishes out doom and gloom all the time, it will lose audience share. There is a time for everything. "Prime Time" and "The Frontline" are fine but not all night without relief. No one is talking about the realities of life. No one is saying we are borrowing €20 billion a year to keep the economy going and that we are working ourselves out of the recession. At the Roscommon races yesterday, I met many people who were positive about the economy, believing we had turned the corner. Last Sunday's Fianna Fáil national collection raised as much money as previous ones.
