Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-30
============================================================

Catherine Martin (GP), Dublin Rathdown

The amendment seeks to require coimisiún na meán to meet with the gambling regulatory authority biannually and to produce reports on online gambling annually. As I set out on Dáil Committee Stage, the Bill already addresses the issue, which is essentially about the co-operation of regulatory bodies on the issue of gambling, by setting out that coimisiún na meán must co-operate in the regulation of gambling with any public body concerned with that matter and this will enable an coimisiún and the gambling regulatory authority when established to have the flexibility to determine as independent regulators their necessary level of co-operation and engagement. This means that on establishment, an coimisiún will co-operate with the existing public bodies responsible for gambling and will also co-operate with the gambling regulatory authority when it is established.
