Has the Taoiseach any proposals to contact RTE on its coverage of proceedings in this House, which are obviously no longer considered family viewing since Oireachtas Report is now scheduled for 2.30 tomorrow morning?
- Mr Charles Flanagan (FG)
It is for insomniacs . . .
- The Minister for Public Enterprise, Ms O'Rourke
Is it that the proceedings are now X-rated?
- Mr Flanagan
Why should the Oireachtas be relegated to a slot for drunks and insomniacs by RTE?
- Mr Pat Rabbitte (DL)
I understand that the broadcast committee of the House is going to consider this. I would, of course, lend my support to any efforts to have the programme earlier because I understand it had a very good audience when it was earlier.
- The Taoiseach, Mr Ahern
