Media minister Patrick O'Donovan should impose a tiered 'Netflix levy' that would fund home-grown television and film productions through a charge on streaming giants. The levy would apply on a tiered basis to major streaming platforms to generate sustainable funding for domestic audiovisual production and to support Irish creative sectors. The charge was planned by former media minister Catherine Martin and was recommended by the regulator Coimisiún na Meán in May. Implementation would require ministerial action and coordination with regulators and industry to establish tiers, collection mechanisms, and distribution channels for supporting local production.
