When making a complaint, the relevant programme or commercial communication should be identified, including the date of broadcast and time. The complainant should explain what it is about the broadcast that has led them to make a complaint. It is important to set out clearly the grounds of the complaint and why the programme material or commercial content does not comply with the BAI’s Broadcasting Codes. A copy of the codes may be found on the BAI’s website: www.bai.ie, by emailing [email protected] or by phoning the BAI on 01 644 1200. In line with the complaint process, the viewer or listener should direct their complaint to the broadcaster in the first instance and in the manner detailed in the broadcaster’s Code of Practice for Handling Complaints, a document which each broadcaster has available on its website. If a viewer or listener is not satisfied with the response from the broadcaster or if the broadcaster does not respond within the timeframe provided for in their Code of Practice (usually 21 days), then the viewer or listener can refer the complaint to the BAI for consideration. In assessing complaint referrals, the BAI will have regard to the relevant codes and rules, the written material submitted by the relevant parties, together with the broadcast material. Complaints are assessed at Executive level by the Executive Complaints Forum and/or by the Compliance Committee of the Authority. Further information may be found on the complaints handling section of the BAI’s website: www.bai.ie. The details of the broadcasting complaints decisions reached by the BAI are set out in this document. The decisions deal with the issue of whether a programme or a commercial communication did or did not comply with the relevant legal requirements and the relevant broadcasting codes or rules. The decisions do not constitute endorsement or support for the views of either parties to the complaint nor will they address every aspect of a complaint submission. The BAI will not carry out a separate or independent assessment outside of the matters raised in the complaint. In total, 10 complaints were considered by the Compliance Committee of the BAI. Of these, 3 have been upheld and 7 rejected. The Executive Complaints Forum considered and rejected 16 complaints. The decisions of the Compliance Committee were reached at meetings held in May and June 2016. The decisions of the Executive Complaints Forum were reached at meetings held in April, May and July 2016. www.bai.ie 4 Broadcasting Complaint Decisions Upheld/Upheld in Part by the BAI Compliance Committee Complaint made by: Mr. Francis Clauson Ref. No. 26/16 Station: Advertisement: Date: TV3 The Power to Power Ourselves 10th January 2016 1. Advertisement The complaint concerns an advertising campaign entitled ‘The Power to Power Ourselves’, which featured on TV3 in January 2016. The campaign was coordinated by the Irish Wind Energy Association (IWEA). 2. Complaint Category The complaint is submitted under the Broadcasting Act 2009, Section 48(1)(d); the BAI General Commercial Communications Code (Section 9: Prohibited Communications). 3. Complaint Summary The complainant states that this campaign has been coordinated by the Irish Wind Energy Association (IWEA). He states that it is clear that the IWEA are a special interest lobby group: IWEA is the national body representing the wind energy sector in Ireland. The complainant states that the IWEA is committed to promoting the use of wind energy in Ireland and beyond as an economically viable and environmentally sound alternative to conventional generation and promotes awareness and understanding of wind power as the primary renewable energy resource. The complainant further states that wind energy is currently a matter of significant political dispute and that campaigns are underway to oppose the further development of wind energy within the country. The complainant states that the IWEA are now targeting what their CEO describes as "a concerning escalation in false and misleading information about wind energy from some quarters". The complainant states that this dispute is also linked to the ongoing review of the wind energy guidelines being undertaken by Government; the review and proposed revision to the wind energy guidelines has at its heart a battle to set safe setback distances/noise limits between homes and wind farms, something which the IWEA has vehemently opposed. The complainant also states that, taking into account the content of the advert, the context in which the advert is broadcast, the aims and objectives of IWEA and of The Power to Power Ourselves advertising campaign, this advertisement is in contravention of the ban on political advertising. www.bai.ie 5 Broadcasting Complaint Decisions In this regard, the complainant highlights the current political context, in particular the ongoing lobbying and campaigning in relation to the review of the wind energy guidelines and the high volume of political and planning disputes, relating to wind farms, which in many instances have created political activity. The complainant states that, finally, it should be noted that the IWEA, who are running this campaign, are supported by State and Semi-state organisations. 4. Broadcaster’s Response 4.1 Broadcaster’s Response to Complainant TV3 states that, having carefully reviewed the complaint and considered the application of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland's guidelines for commercial advertising, it does not accept that this is a political message or advertisement. The broadcaster states that the Irish Wind Energy Association (IWEA) is a limited liability company. The broadcaster states that political advertising is restricted for political parties, trade unions and charities which they believe the IWEA is not. The broadcaster states that, separately, Section 41(3) of the Broadcasting Act 2009 states that a "broadcaster shall not broadcast an advertisement which is directed towards a political end”. Again, having regard to the content, TV3 does not believe that the advertisement in question is one directed towards a political end. 4.2 Broadcaster’s Response to BAI TV3 states that having reviewed the BAI’s Code, they do not believe the advertisement was a political one. They state that the advertisement called "The Power to Power Ourselves" was not a call to action in any way. There were no misleading factual claims. The broadcaster states that the only text that accompanies the advertisement is as follows: "Why do we import 85% of Ireland's energy needs, producing only 15% domestically, when we're surrounded by a resource that could move us towards energy independence.” The broadcaster states that the public records indicate that the IWEA is a limited liability company with a registered office in Co. Kildare. Its aim is a commercial one - to promote wind as an energy source from which its members profit. The broadcaster states that the advertisement merely promotes wind energy in general terms, a commercial enterprise not prohibited under the BAI General Commercial Communications Code. www.bai.ie 6 Broadcasting Complaint Decisions The broadcaster states that the complainant refers to the fact that there are ongoing campaigns to oppose wind energy and an ongoing review of wind energy guidelines is being undertaken by the Government.

  • The 2013 Irish Legislation on Abortion: Turning-Point Or Missed Opportunity?
    NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND GALWAY European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation A.Y. 2013/2014 The 2013 Irish legislation on abortion: turning-point or missed opportunity? A critical analysis from a human rights perspective Author: Chiara Cosentino Supervisor: Noelle Higgins Ackowledgements I would like to thank Noelle Higgins, from the NUI of Galway, for the supervision of the present work and for her precise and insightful comments and suggestions. Furthermore, I would like to deeply thank the contacted civil society organisations that kindly and enthusiastically agreed on allowing me to steal a bit of their time for interviews. They were fundamental for my analysis, for the perception from the ground they gave me, and for the global picture that I could capture from their different angles of perspective on the topic. In particular I would love to thank for their availability Richie Keane (Coordinator of Doctors For Choice), Sinéad Corcoran (member of the Policy and Advocacy Team of Abortion Right Campaign), Kelly Mackey (from the Campaign Office of Amnesty International Ireland), Maeve Taylor (Senior Policy and Advocacy Officer of the Irish Family Planning Association) and Dette McLoughlin, John Walshe and Joseph Loughnane (members of Galway Pro-Choice). I would also like to thank my family, my parents, my sister and my grandmother for their unconditional support, and for making my participation in this Master possible, both with their practical help and love. I missed them throughout this year, but we all know that, wherever I am, they are always in my heart. Moreover, I would like to thank all my friends, old and new, for what they mean and they will always mean to me.

  • 29Th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios by Bob Quinn If Brian
    29th June 2003 Pigs May Fly Over TV Studios By Bob Quinn If Brian Dobson, Irish Television’s chief male newsreader had been sacked for his recent breach of professional ethics, pigs would surely have taken to the air over Dublin. Dobson, was exposed as doing journalistic nixers i.e. privately helping to train Health Board managers in the art of responding to hard media questions – from such as Mr. Dobson. When his professional bilocation was revealed he came out with his hands up – live, by phone, on a popular RTE evening radio current affairs programme – said he was sorry, that he had made a wrong call. If long-standing Staff Guidelines had been invoked, he might well have been sacked. Immediately others confessed, among them Sean O’Rourke, presenter of the station’s flagship News At One. He too, had helped train public figures, presumably in the usual techniques of giving soft answers to hard questions. Last year O’Rourke, on the live news, rubbished the arguments of the Chairman of Primary School Managers against allowing advertisers’ direct access to schoolchildren. O’Rourke said the arguments were ‘po-faced’. It transpires that many prominent Irish public broadcasting figures are as happy with part-time market opportunities as Network 2’s rogue builder, Dustin the Turkey, or the average plumber in the nation’s black economy. National radio success (and TV failure) Gerry Ryan was in the ‘stable of stars’ run by Carol Associates and could command thousands for endorsing a product. Pop music and popcorn cinema expert Dave Fanning lucratively opened a cinema omniplex.
