Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
The Role of Media in Climate Action: Discussion
11:00 am
Mr. Conor Mullen:
Our primary purpose is to ensure that all advertisements are legal, decent, truthful and honest. Policies, laws and regulations are not set by us and our role and remit is clearly set out in the Broadcasting Act. That is why it is important that Coimisiún na Meán has an input into this. Under the Broadcasting Act, we are also obligated to maximise our revenues. It is a balance.
