Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-05-04
============================================================

Micheál Carrigy (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I note amendments Nos. 65 and 67 specifically reference reports and discussions with the Oireachtas joint committee. That is very important. Senators Malcolm Byrne and Warfield and I were on that committee. We spent a significant number of months discussing this with all of these companies.
There is an expertise within the committee. There is merit in going back to the committee when these discussions are taking place rather than meetings taking place with any of these big companies at the commission. The Oireachtas joint committee is the place where these companies should be met so that it is on the public record.
