I ask the Leader to have the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport come to the House at an early date. There has been a very successful promotion of the Wild Atlantic Way, but, unfortunately, this is skewing business away from other areas. I refer in particular to the south east, which will be familiar to the Leader. We are also part of the Atlantic coast but unfortunately we do not appear to be part of the Wild Atlantic Way. Much public moneys have been invested in tourism projects in the south east, not least in my own county of Wexford. There appears to be anecdotal evidence that because the promotion is skewing in one direction it is affecting tourism in the south east. I ask for a debate on this matter because both my county of Wexford and the Leader's county of Waterford have many very good attractions. I refer to my own electoral area of New Ross. Anyone spending a fortnight there can visit a different beach every day if the weather is right. The south east in general has better weather.

I concur with Senator Feargal Quinn in paying tribute to the former Tory and Conservative Minister Ann Widdecombe who has been a champion of the pro-life movement and someone who has opposed the abortion culture in Britain for a long period of time. This culture has led to a situation where despite the good intentions, perhaps, on the part of some politicians to alleviate some of the hard cases, this culture has resulted where almost one in five babies is killed before it is born. This is an appalling vista, but apparently one which the industry promotes. Unfortunately, they have been unable to place a check on it. It shows the value of what we have decided here. In that regard, I ask the Leader if we could have a debate on the media in general and the national broadcaster in particular. I am sure many people are appalled at the bias which comes across, both in the written media and from the national broadcaster in particular.

I am going to talk about it.

Anyone who listened to "Morning Ireland" this week and heard the person involved from the UN committee being interviewed will know that it was a very soft interview by a very good interviewer for whom I have good regard but who, unfortunately, on this occasion failed to put the difficult questions. The interviewee was allowed to get away with all sorts of disingenuous statements. On the other hand, a representative of the pro-life organisation was rightly scrutinised on the points she was making very well. The payment of water charges is causing a lot of controversy. Water rates will not be any more than the TV licence fee. I wonder why many of us pay our money to an organisation which is totally biased and unbalanced and not fulfilling its requirements under the Broadcasting Act and which is in receipt of €160 a year from every one of us. It is unacceptable and perhaps the time is coming when people will have to stand up and perhaps boycott the television licence until RTE fulfils its statutory obligations under the Broadcasting Act. "The Ray D'Arcy Show", in particular, was appalling.
