Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-05-26
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I move amendment No. 164:
In page 79, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following:
“(2) The Media Commission shall produce a directive outlining appropriate minimum age requirements for children to create online accounts within 12 months of its establishment.”.
I appreciate that the Minister and I want to get to the same place. I think we should legislate; we have put this in legislation. I know the Minister will ask the media commission to look at the issue. I will press the amendment on this occasion.
