Amharc ar fhreagraThe Broadcasting Commission of Ireland was responsible for the licensing of commercial broadcasters up until 30 September 2009. This responsibility rests with the newly established Broadcasting Authority of Ireland with effect from 1 October 2009. The Commission was, and the Authority is, an independent statutory body and I have no function in this matter. With regard to the industrial relations and employment rights issues raised, these are matters for my colleague the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
