Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Tackling Childhood Obesity: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Declan McLoughlin:

Outside of that, there is adult viewing time, in respect of which there is the other code. There is that mixture of where children may be watching on their own and, therefore, need particular protection or where they are watching with family, where the view of the code is that there is a shared responsibility between broadcasters, parents and guardians. That complaint raises an issue that we will have to examine in the review of the code.
