Podcasts must be included in planned new broadcasting regulations designed to cover radio and television, according to Oireachtas Media Committee chair Alan Kelly. He said the current proposals create an imbalance that should be relooked following controversy over Ivan Yates training Fianna Fáil presidential candidate Jim Gavin while co‑hosting the Paths to Power podcast. Ivan Yates said that requiring TDs to declare conflicts of interest before podcasts would be a 'mood killer'. The committee chair argued that regulation should address overlaps between political activity and media roles to ensure transparency, fairness and clarity in broadcasting. Inclusion of podcasts aims to close regulatory gaps and respond to public concern about undisclosed conflicts.
