These amendments address the issue of broadcasting content standards. Amendments Nos. 43, 45 and 63 replace the phrase "taste or decency" with the less subjective term "harm or offence". Amendment No. 44 also allows the BAI to adopt a more flexible approach in respect of religious advertising. Amendment No. 32 requires the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to lay before the Houses of the Oireachtas reports received from the compliance committee in respect of compliance with Irish broadcasting codes of broadcasts targeted at Irish audiences by broadcasters located in other EU member states.
