Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht

General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Mark Carpenter:

I do not want to get into a back and forth on this but I am a little surprised by Mr. Esslemont's comments because I am aware that there is a project in place to get the TG4 content up on the Sky box. I know from communications with colleagues in Sky and colleagues of Mr. Esslemont that there have been technical issues on both sides in delivering that content. There have been technical delays on both sides but the project is happening. If Mr. Esslemont feels it is not happening at the pace he wishes, I will be happy to have the relevant conversations. As I said, however, I have had feedback from colleagues of both Mr. Esslemont and my own colleagues suggesting there have been technical reasons for the delay.
