Consultation.

163.— (1) Before making a designation order, the Minister shall—
|
|
| |
(a) make reasonable efforts to consult with the organisers of the event and with broadcasters who are under the jurisdiction of the State for the purpose of the Council Directive,
|
|
| |
(b) publish a notice of the event which the Minister intends to designate under that section on a website maintained by him or her and where appropriate in a newspaper circulating in the State, and
|
|
| |
(c) invite comments on the intended designation from members of the public.
