Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

^ General Scheme of Electoral Reform Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Dualta Ó Broin:

First, we recognise the value of authoritative sources of news and that is why we work with trusted flaggers across the globe to combat misinformation. We do not believe that banning political ads is the answer. We believe that greater transparency in political advertising is the answer. Can an argument be made regarding radio and television? They are different types of media and perhaps the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland would have a view on that.
