Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Broadcasting Authority of Ireland: Discussion

5:00 pm

Mr. Michael O'Keeffe:

We regulate the content that is carried on the Sky or Virgin platforms. For example, all the Sky channels, which have UK licences, may require a licence from Ireland or somewhere else to broadcast in other jurisdictions. That does not, however, mean they will move all their people here. They may move some. They have a base here and employ many people here. Even if it does not bring many people in here, it may open other opportunities.
