Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2022-05-31
============================================================

I am not questioning the taking of judicial review in any respect or the process around that but I seek clarification. My question is around what happens while a judicial review is taking place. If the commission makes an order and a judicial review is taken against it, as is the right of any person to do, what happens in the interim? Will the Minister clarify if the guidelines or provisions in respect of judicial review which she just indicated specify that a decision, for example, on the removal of harmful content, would stand during that period? If so, I will be happy to withdraw the amendment but I am not sure if it is the case.
