Engagement with Coimisiún na Meán on the 2023 Work Programme
Mr. R?n?n ? Domhnaill:
Work on the content levy has started and we recently went out to tender. That process has now ceased and we are starting work on research on what a levy might look like, what shape it might take and what it might take in. We hope to have that work completed early next year. The Future of Media Commission report recommended a timeline of late 2024. I expect we will have it well before that. That is my hope. I am aware, from meeting independent producers along with Ms Craig, that they see a need for this levy to come into place. There is a feeling that it is happening in other European countries-----
