Broadcasting Authority legislation

Summary

Michael Healy-Rae asks whether legislation will strengthen the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and support independent broadcasters; the Taoiseach is unaware of any such legislation.

Are there any proposals from Government to amend and strengthen the legislation governing the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland? I am asking this because independent broadcasters will have to get State funding to create a balance between the national broadcaster and independent broadcasters.

I do not want to go through it again with the Deputy. Is there promised legislation in this area?
