You know as well as I do, that it says as far as is practical, not optional. Which is practice would mean that if you know they are there, you'll give it.... whereas, if you have no clue they are there, you cannot give it.

What Ballina?

Okay, think I found the Ballina.

It was in G airspace, one aircraft forgot to turn on "ALT" on the transponder, the airspace was "broadcast" airspace.... so I'm a little confused why ATC is dragged into it?

Though you normally don't broadcast on ATC frequencies, they are a worktool for the controllers and they'll be pissed. You communicate with ATC on that frequency.
