Mr. Stephen Ryan:

First, there are transitional provisions built into the Bill for when it comes into effect. There will be a transition into a new regulatory regime. This will be an ongoing annual review. It is a matter of the broadcaster having a current project and scheme for digitisation access in which the regulator can then look at what it is doing now and provide views on whether the broadcaster can or should do more. It is a matter for the regulator's side and how it reviews it. This will shift from the current situation where the regulator is not doing that. It empowers the regulator to do that as part of its annual process. In doing so, the regulator, as part of the Bill, will also have a stronger role in setting commitments for our broadcasters. It is a matter entirely for the regulator, which will ensure that RTÉ and TG4 are encouraged to make stronger commitments to their archival activities.
