Communications Regulation and Digital Hub Development Agency (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-14
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I do not know if all decisions of all Ministers can claim to have implicit reasonableness in everything they do. We are moving towards a dangerous papal-infallibility-style approach if we believe that. Nonetheless, in acknowledgement of the fact that the Government has narrowed the scope in which this discretion may be applied to only issues of national security, I am not going to press the amendment.
