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

Imelda Munster (SF), Louth

The Minister got pretty much the same type of correspondence. She said she requested exactly what RTÉ will do but I think the organisation is biding its time on this. If this amendment is not accepted by the Minister, RTÉ will eventually fob her off. I guarantee her, although I hope I am wrong, that it will fob her off. If the amendment is not accepted and included in legislation and RTÉ's hand is not forced, I guarantee it will not do it. For this reason, I ask the Minister to accept the amendment. As my colleague said, this has been going on since 2000. RTÉ is constantly fobbing people off, at committee meeting after committee meeting, and it is time this provision was put into legislation to force its hand.
