Mr. Colm O'Reilly:

I want to address the point on the EU copyright directive. One thing that we eagerly look forward to in the implementation of the Future of Media Commission's report is how quickly we get to the point where there is a review of the EU copyright directive, particularly Article 15. Looking abroad, especially at Australia, where there has been more success in getting big tech to pay an equitable part in contributions to the news ecosystems, the legislative process has played a significant role, particularly with the use of the competition authority and how it has taken an active role in examining the impact of big tech platforms on advertising and the distribution of content. As we have seen with the Digital Services Act, they also have a role in the verification of content and how it is accessed. I will ask my colleague from the Irish Farmers' Journalto speak because we had a question about how to fund this. As a title which talks to a particular part of Irish society, the model of the Irish Farmers' Journalis especially good. I ask Ms Sammi Burke to talk about it.
