Radio anomaly

-

Sir,

The imbalance of radio in this country is scandalous, where we have approx 27 stations in Dublin with the privilege of reaching out to all Ireland, while we have the community stations talking to themselves?

This anomaly in broadcasti­ng allows Dublin to highlight its attraction­s to the nation, while the community stations are restricted to their respective limited area. This must be changed, if the provinces are to progress and develop and in view of this idea, there should be provincial radio stations, with all Ireland coverage, which would enable each province to advertise their respective attraction­s to the nation.

The new Ireland must incorporat­e this structure in its format. Liam O Conaire, Bruff, Co Limerick
