Enforcement of the Online Safety Framework
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 harm online.
Regulation of broadcasting and video-on-demand services
We carry out a wide range of activities to support Ireland’s media sector and help develop content for Irish audiences that reflects and shapes Irish society. These include funding schemes and the implementation of sectoral learning and development programmes. We also work with broadcasters to continually advance gender equality, equity, diversity and inclusion in the Irish media sector.

We are currently developing our inaugural Strategy statement which will cover the three-year period 2025 to 2027 inclusive. When complete, the Strategy will guide all our work during that period.
