I will keep my questions brief, given the time limit. What kind of examination did the commission carry out with regard to the licence fee, other than the thematic dialogue that took place in March? Did it speak to experts in other jurisdictions, for example, regarding their approach? What other work was done with Irish experts, etc., when looking at the issue?
The issue of advertising was considered by the commission but I ask our guests to further address, in particular, potentially harmful advertising such as that relating to alcohol, betting, junk food and other advertising targeted at children.
Has the commission carried out work on Irish-language media and the importance of protecting and supporting it?
