Ceist:191 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications if he will issue community television licences to urban areas where cable television is already available and licensed. [2978/95]
Written Answers - Community Television Licences.
Further to the undertaking contained in the policy agreement A Government of Renewal concerning competition in the area of multichannel television services, I am having this entire matter of multichannel television services closely examined within my Department, in co-operation with the Department of Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht. It would be my intention to exploit whatever opportunities may be presented, in particular by the advent of new technology, to facilitate competition and community involvement in this area.
