Are we a narrow tribe or a broad family?

I BELIEVE passionately in a “pluralist” Ireland.

That means that the provision of a range of broadcasting services is as essential as a range of newspapers — monopoly is not an option. A monochrome Ireland is not acceptable.

If we can afford to have Radio na Gaeltachta and a TV service like TG 4 , and if we remain committed to maintain them even at the cost of subsidy by the taxpayers, how can maintaining Protestant schools, on a similar basis, be in any way “unconstitutional” — or not be an absolute imperative when it comes to both policy and budget allocation.
