Ceisteanna (401)

Richard Bruton

Ceist:

460 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if he has reviewed the availability of European language channels on the Irish network in view of the more central role which the European Union is playing in Irish affairs; if he has had discussions with any of the cable and other distribution networks to encourage the inclusion of channels with programming in European languages; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Decisions on the channels carried by cable and other networks are matters for the companies concerned. I have no plans to review the availability, or to introduce must carry requirements, in respect of European language channels.
