Patrick O'Donovan (Limerick County, Fine Gael)

I am here to answer questions, and the Deputy made an assertion with regard to the independence of IFCO and its work vis-à-vis the relationship with the Department that I reject. If the Deputy wants to engage with IFCO, the committee should issue an invitation for it to come in.

With regard to other forms of broadcast, Coimisiún na Meán has an obvious role in online streaming and content. Since the summer, it has had an increased number of powers. We will have to make sure it is properly and adequately resourced going forward to carry out its work, which I believe it is. Today is about me getting the support of the committee for the work of the Irish Film Classification Office. That is why I am here.
