The draft general scheme of the Broadcasting Bill was submitted to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Marine and Natural Resources in September 2006 for the purposes of public consultation under the eConsultation initiative.
It is proposed to publish the Broadcasting Bill towards the end of this year having considered the Joint Oireachtas Committee's conclusions on the outcome of the eConsultation process.
