Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Malcolm Byrne: I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee and for the work they do.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: General Scheme of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill: Discussion (Resumed) (8 Jul 2025)

Malcolm Byrne: It could be useful to know. The witness is correct about the concern because the streaming levy does not specifically exempt small streaming services in the legislation. It is important in the recommendations of the committee that we look to exempt small streaming services in comparison to Netflix. Given what has been said about dodgy boxes and the challenge, we need to raise our concerns....
