Comreg the new radio regulator (was OTDR) enforced the corrupt former minister for communications Ray Burke's 1998 broadcast law today by raiding 4 Dublin based pirate radio stations in Dublin at 13:00 hrs GMT. One kitted out Volkswagen van and a garda jeep with 5-6 gardai were used in the raid. The ESB were also used to back up the operation by terminating the offenders power supply. The operation took 2 and a half hours. The cost to the tax payer for these raids is unknown. Along with the diversion of Garda recourses. The Ghost of Ray Burke lives on. More to follow.
