Why gag TV and radio before elections if press and online media are free?

DON’T know if I can stand the pressure.

All these deadlines. The world is going to end in May, according to some cult. I know. I know. Why would anybody listen to a bunch of cultish headbangers? Answer: because listening to the experts got us where we are today. If the cult is right, I’m going to have to seek a derogation from the Last Trump. Someone — wonder who it was? — once described my current position: a lot done, more to do.

As if coping with the end of the world wasn’t bad enough, today brings another deadline. If you want to make a submission to the splendid body which regulates broadcasting in this country about their proposals for pre-election broadcasting, today is your last chance. The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) will be happy to hear your reactions to their proposals. Today. Not tomorrow. Get your skates on.
