Vol. 267 No. 12
asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs if he has reached a decision in relation to the setting up of a second TV channel; if he has decided whether it will be run by RTE or by private enterprise; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
55.
asked the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs the state of the arrangements for the setting up of a second television channel for the country as recommended in the First Interim Report of the Broadcasting Review Committee.
With your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 54 and 55 together. I have not reached a decision in relation to the setting up of a second TV channel. The remaining parts of Question No. 54, therefore, do not arise at present.
Is this also one of the decisions the Minister expects to make shortly?
I should not like to commit myself to announcing a decision on this as shortly as in the case of the other matter.
