European Elections 2024 It is ‘not appropriate’ for election candidates to present radio shows - media regulator
It is “not appropriate” for individuals running for election to present radio programmes, according to the broadcasting regulator. Coimisiún na Meán was responding to queries from the Business Post after Niall Boylan, the radio broadcaster, registered as a candidate in the European elections this June.
Boylan registered on Monday to run in Dublin as a candidate with Independent Ireland, but continued to present his radio show on Classic Hits FM on Monday evening. Asked what its policy was on election candidates presenting radio shows, a spokesman for Coimisiún na Meán said it was “not appropriate for persons involved with ‘election interests’ to present programmes during the election campaign period.” The spokesman added that “election interests includes candidates for an election”.
