The broadcasting regulator, Coimisiún na Meán has removed the traditional broadcast
Moratorium for television and radio.
In the past, this applied from 14:00 on the day before polling until the close of polls.
It has been replaced with a “Critical Election Period” commencing at 7am on Thursday 28
November until the close of polls on Friday 29 November.
Section 10 of the Guidance issued by the Commission on 01 November last, deals with the
Critical Election Period which requires broadcasters to ensure “additional care” in this period.
The full details of Section 10 are included in the link below.
The RTÉ Election Steering Group has reviewed this guidance from the Commission.
