Sources in Google, which is also based in Dublin, and which also will be subject to the new regulator, say they also see a lengthy “gap” in setting up the new body.
Facebook has told an Oireachtas committee that it thinks serious consideration should be given to pausing planned new national measures around online safety and media regulation until similar draft new EU laws are finalised.
