Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
European Elections 2024, Voting Rights and Combating Disinformation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:
We only have a role if they are European. If it is a British channel, for example, there would need to be a regulator somewhere in Europe for them but it will be wherever they have chosen to base their European headquarters. That country would be the regulator of them. We do not regulate them because they are received in Ireland, we only regulate ones where the broadcaster is based in Ireland or has chosen to be regulated in Ireland. It is the same framework but the regulator is where the country of origin is.
