Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-12-06
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

The last time the Bill was before the Seanad the individual complaints mechanism was somewhat up in the air so I welcome its introduction now. However, my colleague, Senator Higgins, had some reservations about section 139(v) and I encouraged her to write to the Minister regarding same. Her concern relates to the requirement for the complainant to specify the category of harmful content that he or she believes the content falls under. I wanted to put it on record that the Civic Engagement Group intends to write to the Minister about this issue as its members could not be here today.
