Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2015

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2015 would require radio stations seeking a sound-broadcasting contract to reserve at least 40% of their music airtime for compositions connected with a distinctive aspect of the culture of the people of the island of Ireland. Its aim is to support Irish musical culture and identity in the face of strong British and American influence, by giving Irish music more exposure on radio.
