Detailed Scrutiny of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion
1:00 pm
Mr. Stephen Ryan:
We believe in doing that. The current provision for the regulator is that it may carry out a review and will report on that. Rather than having this very specific obligation that broadcasters must provide everything free of charge at a point of access, we are strengthening the provisions so that the regulator must have regard when doing reviews of the activities of RTÉ and TG4 in the future. Through the regulator considering whether broadcasters are complying and doing enough under legislation as it stands, this would guide and improve services if it is found they are not doing enough.
