I understand that these amendments were discussed at Committee Stage. The idea is to introduce a levy on sound streaming and music sharing platforms services such as Spotify or Apple in a similar manner to the levy proposed for audiovisual media services. This money would then be used by the Arts Council to support Irish musicians and local radio. We took note of the concerns addressed by the Minister at Committee Stage and clarified wording relating to taxation and jurisdiction. This is, therefore, a chance for Ireland to lead rather than follow and to protect our own artists and creators from the power of global corporations.
