Departmental Reports
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-05
============================================================

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor (FF), Carlow-Kilkenny

As we progress in our discussions on the future of media in Ireland and see progression of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022, which is absolutely vital, it is vitally important that the debate and discussions around this are open and informed. The release of the Future of Media Commission report is a central part of this. I welcome the creation of the Future of Media Commission and I recognise that it was tasked with some challenging, wide-ranging topics to consider, such as how we can put in place a sustainable framework for the wider media sector. It is vital that we support our media sector in Ireland and encourage diverse opinion and debate and that we support a sector which is ever more inclusive and accessible to all in society. What about recruitment of staff? What is the update on that? That matter has been asked of me recently.
