asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he is aware of the low standard of music presented in sponsored programmes on Radio Éireann between 1 p.m. and 2.30 p.m.; and, if so, if he will take steps to ensure that a better standard is maintained.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Sponsored Programmes.
Since I became Minister I have been giving particular attention to sponsored programme standards. I feel that there has been a measure of improvement. I shall continue my efforts to ensure that these programmes will maintain a satisfactory level.
Would the Minister say if these programmes are presented at the entire discretion of the sponsors?
The station exercises a degree of censorship upon the programmes.
Question Nos. 80 to 84, inclusive, postponed.
