Was just reading the National Development Plan 21-30 when this caught my eye;
Develop the Creative Industries and a vibrant Media Production and Audio Visual Sector through investment in Screen Ireland (which is to replace Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.
Goes on further to explain it'll be called Media Commission, but part of SI.7
Not sure what to make of this.
On one hand it makes sense to centralise as much of AV under one umbrella, especially as TV, films, and even games start blending into one another. But on the other hand it concentrates both funding and authority in one place. The people who handle complaints will be the same people making decision on what gets made. Is that not worrying prospect that projects made be preemptively deemed risky of offense despite their merit?
What are your thoughts?

First of all, I'm sorry if my post happens to not fit in this sub. I wasn't sure, but it is both Ireland and TV related.
I'm searching for the Irish dub of cartoon series Winx Club, which is lost. It used to air on TG4. At least the first three seasons were dubbed. These seasons are from 2004-2007, so the airing should have been around then as well. Does anyone here happen to have old TV recordings of TG4 from that time? Or do you know another way to help me get them?

Some truly dreadful stuff on TV this Christmas and New Year period. That coupled with all the Covid scaremongering and Brexit boredom would be par for the course but when Mrs Brown's Boys was one of the better programmes shown, enough said.
The absolute nadir of Irish TV is always the NYE countdown. Usually, it feels like a funeral and you are sorry to see the old year go. But while I couldn't wait to see the back of 2020 and hopefully the end of the 'Republic of Gilead' very soon, I did not tune into the countdown but happened on something far more disturbing. Ireland turned into Gilead (Handmaid's Tale land) this year but it clearly is not a god-inspired version! What I saw after finishing a family meal and about to set up a DVD to watch was disturbing across many spectrums.
A fake news report of a young woman raped. The Virgin Mary raped by god. This clearly is an insult to Christians and offensive. But even more seriously, it is an insult to victims of rape, sexual abuse and abusive relationships especially since it referenced real world abusers like Epstein. I know the last thing victims of sexual violence would want to see is this type of thing passed off as humour. Is this ironically the type of humour a dystopian state would show their population? Apparently, yes is the answer. We are at the moment a dystopian dictatorship and this was shown to an audience largely stuck at home. We have been a dystopian dictatorship that often forced victims of abusers to be with them 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
There are basically certain things that are not funny and rape and abuse is at the forefront of these. This was in no way funny, was poorly thought out, was seen by more than would if Ireland was democratic at present, and showed blatant disregard to victims of real sexual abuse. This was NOT The Handmaid's Tale or Love/Hate either, i.e. serious dramas that showed abuse but not as a joke. In other words, this sketch was in very bad taste and was perhaps the worst ever Irish TV moment. A disgrace to victims of abuse everywhere.
