- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)
Imelda Munster: I welcome our guests. My first couple of questions are for Dr. Campbell and the others are for Ms Kathryn Walsh. I will ask all the questions and then allow the witnesses time to respond. In her opening statement, Dr. Campbell covered the past 30 years. There has been campaign after campaign. None of them have been successful by any stretch of the imagination, it is safe to say....
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)
Imelda Munster: Ms Twomey said the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland would incorporate rules on online junk food. What is the ASAI's complaints mechanism? What sanctions will it use? How many complaints would it normally get? If it is only just considering it now, why now? Why put it on the long finger? Why has it not been done prior to that?
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)
Imelda Munster: Why would the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland choose to do something such as that, knowing it could prolong bringing in such rules, when it knows the seriousness of obesity in Irish society? Why would it not go ahead as an authority in its own right?
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)
Imelda Munster: I am curious about this because it is such a serious issue. It is okay if the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland did not foresee it taking that length of time. However, as time elapsed, surely the authority would have put more of a priority on it and thought we are concerned and the Department is dragging its heels, or for want of a better word, not moving quickly enough to our...
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)
Imelda Munster: One would imagine there is an onus on the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland, as a self-regulatory organisation, to put priority on this.
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)

- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)
Imelda Munster: In fairness it looks like this at the latter stage. Can Ms Twomey tell me what sanctions the ASAI will use?
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)
Imelda Munster: Does the ASAI feel that it will be sufficient just to remove items?
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)
Imelda Munster: Does the ASAI feel that this approach has worked thus far, particularly on junk food? Is it still working on the sanctions? Is that what Ms Twomey is saying?
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)
Imelda Munster: The ASAI knows it has worked in other jurisdictions but it has not got round to implementing it here yet.
- Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)
Imelda Munster: Given the importance of the issue and the urgency we have heard from our other witnesses today, it is quite disappointing that the ASAI gives the impression that it has adopted a lackadaisical approach to this. There is certainly no sense of urgency involved, which is quite worrying. When we are addressing matters in this Bill, it is important that we listen strenuously to what our other...
