Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Operation and Resourcing of Coimisiún na Meán: Digital Services Commissioner

Dr. John Evans:

Our objective is not to raise fines; it is to change behaviours at the platforms. We will have a process internally of supervision and complaints escalation to investigations. When that formal step is taken, we have significant powers around gathering information, carrying out inspections and so on. At the end of that process, if it goes the full length, we have, under the DSA, the power to sanction the platforms up to 6% of turnover. It is significant money.
