View answerThe EU regulatory framework for broadcasting as set out in the Audio-visual Media Services Directive is currently undergoing review. To support its work in this area, my Department engaged consultancy services in October 2016 to review the impact of ‘opt-out’ advertising on the Irish broadcasting sector.
I am currently considering the report’s recommendations and intend to publish the report on my Department’s website in the coming weeks.
