Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

State Response to Online Disinformation and Media and Digital Literacy: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Seamus Hempenstall:

It is good we have the DSA because that is a maximum harmonising measure. It is a horizontal measure. The OSMR transposed the audiovisual media services directive, AVMSD, which is kind of a vertical measure, so that fits in with the DSA. All of the provisions in the DSA - Coimisiún na Meán is probably more qualified than I am to talk about how they will operate – would cover disinformation in respect of risk assessments and all those kinds of things.
