I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee. How is it proposed to protect small local media outlets? We are in a sea of media outlets at the moment with more coming on board. Particularly in rural areas, local newspapers and local magazines are very important to the community.

The areas of disinformation and media literacy are important but are also notoriously difficult to legislate for. How is the content defined? How is it possible to get around issues such as freedom of speech and expression?

When issuing new television and radio licences, would the commission be prepared to recommend 5% use of the Irish language?
