Ms Tríona Quill:

The provisions in the legislation will provide guidance to the media commission in terms of making detailed rules in this regard. Some of the detail is not set out in the legislation but there are ways of doing it. It might relate to the search functionality or it might be an allocating requirement for an icon relating to public service media on a home page or something of that kind. It is about recognising that people now search more by voice than was previously the case. The detail of it will be set out by the media commission in rules that can be amended to reflect changing technology over time, but it is about recognising that the days of the electronic programme guide that just had all of the channels listed are drawing to a close. We have tried to have similar provisions to those being pursued by other EU member states.
