Regulator has yet to formally investigate a complaint against a broadcasterBy Cillian Sherlock, Press AssociationNo formal investigation into complaints against broadcasters has been initiated by the country's media regulator, and most cases have been dismissed or resolved through other engagement with the companies. When it receives a complaint, it is charged with deciding whether to dismiss it, refer it back to the relevant broadcaster or video-on-demand provider, or consider it for a formal investigation. Coimisiún na Meán instead refers suspected contraventions of standards for investigation to an authorised person. The remainder were referred to an authorised person to consider whether an investigation should take place. In six, the authorised person decided it should be resolved through engagement with the broadcaster/provider.
