Engagement with Coimisiún na Meán

Eileen Lynch (Fine Gael)
I want to raise the role of Coimisiún na Meán regarding online sellers and online marketplaces based outside Ireland and the way they advertise online. Does Coimisiún na Meán have a role in ensuring that these online sellers comply with the same standards and regulations Irish providers have to comply with? That very much ties in with the online socials platforms as advertising for sellers is such a large part of that. What role does Coimisiún na Meán have in regulating that and ensuring that third party countries are compliant with the regulations here? If they are not, there is a very unfair advantage and a bias against Irish traders.
