About Coimisiún na Meán

Coimisiún na Meán are implementing a new regulatory regime for online safety. As well as protecting people in Ireland from online harms, we will be the regulator for the whole of Europe for the many large online platforms whose European headquarters are in Ireland – working closely with the European Commission and our counterparts across Europe. We will enforce rules that platforms must follow in order to keep their users safe. In time, we will establish a mechanism for giving advice to users and for considering complaints when users are dissatisfied with the way a platform has handled a complaint.

Coimisiún na Meán regulate broadcasters and video-on demand providers. We make and enforce codes and rules that broadcasters must follow on matters such as balance in news and current affairs, protecting children from age-inappropriate material, political advertising, promoting gender balance and ensuring access for people with disabilities. We will review our codes and rules and extend them to video-on-demand providers such as streaming services and people who upload videos for commercial gain. We also award broadcasting contracts to commercial radio and TV stations, review the performance of public service broadcasters such as RTÉ and TG4 and make recommendations about their funding. We also handle complaints from the general public about programme material.

Coimisiún na Meán support the wider media sector. We run funding schemes to support the development of content that reflects and shapes Irish society, including content in the Irish language. For instance, we are proud to have funded An Cailín Ciúin, the first ever Irish-language film to be nominated for an Oscar. Over the next year we will establish new funding schemes to support local journalism and we will take initiatives related to Irish language, sustainability, and equality, diversity and inclusion. We also promote media literacy. We expect to take on a wider media development role in coming years.
