Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.
OnlineLegalServices.ie is operated by Plus Promotions Limited, which is not a solicitor’s practice and does not give legal advice. To instruct a regulated practice, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
An Online Safety Code compliance review in Ireland assesses where your online service stands against Coimisiún na Meán’s binding Online Safety Code, which sets obligations for video-sharing platforms and online services to protect users, especially children, from harmful content, with significant fines for non-compliance. A solicitor would review whether and how the Code applies, assesses your terms, moderation, complaints and age-assurance measures, and provide a prioritised list of compliance actions.
The price shown is the full professional fee for the service as described, and any third-party or State fees are listed separately where they apply. If your matter needs more than this service covers, a solicitor would explain the options before any further work is done.

- Assessment of terms, content moderation, complaint handling and age assurance

- Self-complete template with guidance notes — you fill it in yourself
