Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht

General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ronan McCabe:

There is definitely room for smaller companies to get noticed because we envisage this fund will be a contestable one, so it will not be just for the big players, it will be for anybody who wants to invest in it. As regards Disney and the other players, it just means that if one gets one's ideas financed, one can pitch it to those companies. However, I do not know whether they would invest.
