Vol. 181 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Budget Comment in Radio News Talk.

32.

asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he will make available in the Library the text of the comments by Mr. Garrett Fitzgerald concerning the Budget on the Radio Éireann News Talk on Sunday evening, 1st May, 1960.

It has been the practice for many years not to make copies of the radio news reports available to the members of the Oireachtas or indeed to anybody outside the broadcasting service, and I see no reason to modify that practice.

May I ask the Minister is he aware that the comments on the Budget were even more partisan than we should expect from the Taoiseach himself?

Surely that is a separate question.

I want to be fair to this gentleman. Would the Minister convey to the authorities in Radio Éireann that in future when this man speaks on matters affecting this House he will don his academic spectacles?

It is a matter entirely for Radio Éireann.
