Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

EU Digital Services Package and the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill: Discussion

Ms Sabha Greene:

There is an EU digital transition fund of €85 million over a few years, which will be funded from the EU through our national recovery and resilience programme. The terms of reference of that are being scoped out at the moment but the idea is that it will help businesses to make the transition to digital either in their own processes or however else they need to do digitalise. That is being looked at and there are other schemes. We can get the Senator more information on all the relevant schemes such as the trading online voucher. We can follow up on that.

I may leave the question on the recommendations from the commission to Ms Quill.
