Vol. 380 No. 3

Written Answers. - Community Radio.

45.

asked the Minister for Communications the requirements to be met by community groups wishing to provide community radio facilities for a specific period, that is one month; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Community groups cannot obtain licences to broadcast under existing legislation. However, under the Sound Broadcasting Bill, 1987 provision is made for a simplified procedure to enable persons or groups to establish low power radio services for up to 14 days in a 12 month period. This provision is primarily intended to facilitate the establishment on a short term basis of community radio services in association with various festivals etc. throughout the country.
