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

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

I welcome the indication from the Minister. There is a difference between coming to account to a committee which, as we know, involves a minimal amount of time to deal with the huge number of issues, and having the appropriate document in order that it can be scrutinised and issues identified in order to provide accountability for the public. I hope there is co-operation. In some of my other amendments, I have referred to bodies like the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission, IHREC, and Screen Ireland. There are many areas of potential domestic, as well as international, co-operation. I am not against that. I want to make sure that the basis of that is clear. I am happy to work with the minister to determine which amendment might work. I will withdraw the amendment with the leave of the House and return to the issue on Report Stage.
