Vol. 224 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Radio Telefís Éireann Broadcasts.

61.

asked the Minister for Labour whether he made suggestions to the authorities at Radio or Telefís Éireann following which news items were changed or deleted; and, if so, the number of occasions and the reasons for his actions on all such occasions.

62.

asked the Minister for Labour whether he suggested to Radio or Telefís Éireann that certain individuals be not allowed to broadcast; if so, the number of occasions and the reasons for his actions on all such occasions.

I propose, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 61 and 62 together. I would refer the Deputy to the reply given by the Taoiseach.

Is it necessary to have Ministers at all in this House if, when asked a question, they refer to a reply by the Taoiseach?

The answer is a good one.
