Communications Regulation and Digital Hub Development Agency (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-08
============================================================

Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

The other 19 countries that have legislated for this have had to use terminology of one kind or another. For example, Austria and Cyprus use the phrase “high-risk supplier”; in Czech Republic, it is “evaluation of trustworthiness”; in Estonia, it is “high-risk”; the Dutch went for “untrusted suppliers”; and the Slovenians went for “high-risk vendors”. They are variations on a theme. I am willing to consider amending the legislation. I was not planning to amend the legislation but I am willing to consider amending it with a different name. I will look at that. I am not promising to come back with an amendment on it, but I will consider amending it on Committee Stage.
