Coimisiún na Meán (lit. 'Media Commission') is the regulator of broadcasting and online media in Ireland.
The commission was established in 2023 as a successor body to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.[1]
The commission came into being on 15 March 2023 under amendments to the Broadcasting Act 2009 made by the Online Safety and Media Regulation Act 2022.[2][3][4]
The new framework has been described as "establish[ing] a robust regulatory framework for online safety in response to the emergence of non-traditional and on-demand media so that regulation of these forms of media are on an equal footing with that of traditional media broadcasting".[5]
