lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the imminent closure of Independent Network News, a Dublin-based news agency providing a first-rate national and international news service to the majority of Ireland’s local radio stations, raises serious and legitimate questions about the ownership, plurality and regulation of the media in Ireland. Local radio stations in Ireland are required to ensure that 20% of their news content is national and international. This service has largely been supplied by INN in recent years. On foot of INN’s demise, the Newstalk station owned by Communicorp – which is also a major shareholder in INN – has been awarded the contract to provide a replacement service for the next six months. UTV, whose withdrawal from INN precipitated the service’s demise, has also been centrally involved in the efforts to source a replacement service. The National Union of Journalists has raised important questions over the appropriateness of the involvement of these two bodies in this process, in the context of diversity of media ownership in Ireland. These questions must be fully explored."@en1
