On 21 October 2024, Coimisiún na Meán published and adopted its first Online Safety Code, following extensive public and stakeholder consultation, as well as engagement with its recently established Youth Advisory Committee. The code applies binding obligations to designated video-sharing platform services and gives practical effect to the requirements as set out in Article 28b of Directive 2018/1808/EU (revised Audiovisual Media Services Directive). In particular, the code requires designated services to operate effective complaints handling mechanisms, age-verification systems, parental controls features, and content rating systems. The Code is supported by Online Safety Guidance Materials that are intended to assist service providers in their implementation of appropriate measures, pursuant to the Code, to provide the required protections for children and the general public.
