Ms Craig mentioned that the public can make a complaint about programmes or commercial content separate to the advertising. Is the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, BAI, proactive or does it just act on complaints? Does the BAI look at what is broadcast, assess it, and report on it to say improvements are needed, or actually everything is being done quite well at the moment and there is no need for improvement?
