Resumen de Ireland: : Radio presenter violated broadcasting code by expressing view on same-sex marriage referendum
The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland�s compliance committee has held that the Newstalk 106-108 radio station breached the Authority�s broadcasting code, when one of its presenters stated he would vote in favour of same-sex-marriage in any future referendum in Ireland. The decision arose when a complaint was made to the Authority over a 10-minute item on the Newstalk Breakfast Show programme concerning a forthcoming gay-pride parade in Dublin (for a similar complaint against the Irish public broadcaster recently upheld by the Authority, see IRIS 2014-8/27).
