The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) is the statutory independent body responsible for regulation of the broadcasting sector, which includes regulation of the community radio sector, and as such, I, as Minister have no role in this matter. The role of the BAI includes the provision of funding for the sector, by way of the Sound and Vision II Scheme. In addition, through the Sectoral Learning and Development Policy, the BAI provides support in two ways. The first is through the provision of funding support to CRAOL and CTA, the representative agencies for the community radio and television sectors. The second is through the Community Broadcasting Support Scheme, which offers funding to community radio and television broadcasters to conduct internal or external evaluations of their respective services. The completed evaluations are then used by broadcasters to identify and address areas of their operations that may need review or alteration. Neither the Minister nor the Authority have functions in regard to the internal disciplinary or complaints procedures of individual radio stations.
