asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will request the Director of Radio Éireann to arrange for the broadcast of Irish racing results after the Irish news for the convenience of listeners.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Broadcast of Racing Results.
The comhairle and the director, I am informed, have read the report of the Wireless Estimates debate and all questions asked by Deputies are read by the director, including that now submitted by the Deputy. As I have indicated, I do not intend to interfere in the day to day administration of Radio Éireann. I will ask the director to note minor observations made on the programme, and if Deputies do not repeat such observations on the occasion of the next Estimate I will advert to them if time permits. It would be far better if Deputies wrote direct to the director on matters not relating to general broadcasting policy, in which case he will take the same course as in the case of questions.
