Enda Kenny
Ceist:297 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands if the intention of section 7 (8) and (9) of the Broadcasting Bill, 1999, is to procure the re-transmission within the State for reception throughout the State by way of DTT of the four principal UK analogue services (details supplied); if so, the section of the Bill where this re-transmission is procured; if not, her views on whether this provision amounts to the allocation of capacity for five or more television channels to a foreign company or person drawn from a very narrowly defined range and that these channels will not be subject to Irish licensing or content regulation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
