Digital Regulator: Coimisiún na Meán

We are committed to promoting and upholding fundamental rights, ensuring that our media landscape contributes to an open, democratic society. Upholding the right to freedom of expression underpins all areas of our work.

We are responsible for Ireland’s Online Safety Framework. This important framework will hold digital services accountable for how they protect people, especially children, from online harm.

We oversee the regulation of broadcasting and video-on-demand services in Ireland. Our regulatory functions include regulation of Public Service Media, licensing of broadcast services, handling complaints from viewers and listeners and the development of Codes and Rules.

We support Ireland’s media sector through a wide range of activities to help develop content for Irish audiences that reflects and shapes Irish society. This includes funding schemes and the implementation of sectoral learning and development programmes and working with broadcasters to continually advance gender equality, equity, diversity and inclusion in the Irish media sector.
