asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs whether, in view of the fact that every listener to Radio Eireann who is interested in racing results is also interested in the starting prices of the winner and placed horses, he will arrange that the prices will be broadcast with the results.

It appears to me that the existing facilities for getting the starting prices of races are ample, and for this and other reasons I feel that it is preferable not to extend the scope of the information about races already given by Radio Eireann.
