Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I support Senator Landy's call which is also supported by Senator Mullins, that the Leader arrange a debate in due course on the future of broadcasting in Ireland. Everyone in this House and in the other House is aware of the public service contribution of the local radio stations. We all know the value of the local radio stations which reach out to every parish and every community in their respective counties. I know a little bit about this as I am a small shareholder in one of these small local radio stations-----
