Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-05-11
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 74:
In page 37, line 40, after “Minister” to insert “and the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media”.
There is a mechanism in the Bill whereby the commission may enter into an agreement to co-operate with another body. The amendment proposes that the Minister be provided with a copy of that agreement. We suggest that a copy of the agreement would also give be given to the Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media. There was a suggestion that there was a preference for the Department to state the relevant Oireachtas committee rather than name the title of the committee, but where there is co-operation that is considered significant enough that the Minister would be notified, it would be appropriate that the Parliament would also be notified in terms of the relevant committee.
