Other refusals include an application about ad revenue and costs on The Late Late Show from 2009 to 2017, details of radio and TV airtime afforded to Irish MEPs and a request from an Oireachtas member about the decision to maintain the twicedaily broadcast of the Angelus bell.

A recent trip to Ireland reminded me of the custom, because Radio Telifis Eireann, the state television station, displays an image of Mary and her child, and rings the Angelus bell each day at 6 p m.
But Britain is totally against this plan so there could be a situation after Brexit when it is 1pm in Newry, while a few kilometres down the road in Dundalk the Angelus bells are playing on the radio at noon.
As the Angelus bells rang out across Dublin, in Rialto's Dolphin House they were met with tears, anger and frustration as residents prepared for the cleanup operation once more.
