Interviews on pirate radio
Brennan asks about interviews on pirate radio; Cooney says pirate stations are unlawful and effective action requires amending legislation.
Now that up to perhaps half the young people of this country are tuning in, in one way or another, to pirate radio, has the Minister anything in mind to deal with such interviews over this pirate radio system?
Comment on this
Of course pirate radios are unlawful. The position there is that amending legislation is necessary to deal effectively with them. That is the proper way to deal with them. There is a question later on dealing specifically with that question. Perhaps the Deputy will wait until I give the answer to that.
