The Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill will, among other things, establish a new regulator, a multi-person Media Commission to which an Online Safety Commissioner will be appointed. The Media Commission will replace the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland and be responsible for overseeing updated regulations for broadcasting and video on-demand services and the new regulatory framework for online safety created by the Bill.
The Bill will also transpose the revised Audiovisual Media Services Directive into Irish law, including the regulation of video-sharing platform services as part of the regulatory framework for online safety.
On 25 January 2022, the Bill was initiated in Seanad Éireann for consideration for enactment.
