Sinn Féin is very much of the view that the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill should have clearly stated what the content levy would look like. If it had, perhaps we would be hearing that it would be the number one priority for the media commission. Our guests know the importance of that and I respect that. Sinn Féin brought forward an amendment to the Bill in the Seanad that sought the inclusion of Screen Ireland. That was eventually accepted by the Government very late in the day. Many people worked on that issue. Is Screen Ireland looking ahead to the content levy and its involvement therein? What role will Screen Ireland have in respect of the content levy?
