I propose to take Questions Nos. 119, 134, 136 and 311 to 313, inclusive, together.
I refer to my reply to Question No. 137 on 21 October 2004. I am of the opinion that Irish viewers will be best served by a broadcasting environment that includes a strong public service broadcasting presence in the form of RTE and an independent TG4, together with private broadcasters. Digital television offers opportunities for Irish viewers to avail of an increased number of broadcasting services, including new services of particular relevance or interest to Irish audiences. An indication of this is the fact that the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland has licensed a number of new television services in recent months.
