The reply to the first part of the question is yes. The restricted basis on which communal TV aerials are permitted was fully described in a reply given to a question by Deputy Rooney on 27th June, 1963. I might add that it was decided to make no change in these arrangements when it was recently decided to request Radio Telefís Éireann to provide a communal television aerial service for the Ballymun housing project in view of the special circumstances which apply there.
