"A report has said the levy will not necessarily make streaming more expensive for Irish customers"
"Coalition tensions are brewing over whether to proceed with a so-called 'Netflix levy' after a group of Fianna Fáil TDs pushed back against government plans to shelve such a charge."
"The charge - which would be used to fund home-grown television and film production - was planned by former media minister Catherine Martin, and had been recommended by the regulator Coimisiún na Meán in May."
Coalition tensions have emerged over whether to implement a so-called 'Netflix levy' after a group of Fianna Fáil TDs pushed back against government plans to shelve the charge. The levy would fund home-grown television and film production and was planned by former media minister Catherine Martin. The regulator Coimisiún na Meán recommended the charge in May. The levy will not necessarily make streaming more expensive for Irish customers. The debate has created intra-coalition disagreement about proceeding with the levy and about balancing cultural funding goals with potential consumer cost impacts.
