Communications Regulation and Digital Hub Development Agency (Amendment) Bill 2022: From the Seanad
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-22
============================================================

Michael McNamara (IND), Clare

It is not agreed. I would like clarification from the Minister of State, Deputy Smyth, as to what exactly is sought to be achieved. He will recall that when this matter was discussed in this House, I had several amendments in regarding public order. My very clear recollection was that they were accepted by the Minister of State and that all references to "public order" would be removed. What I wish to know, from either the Minister of State or indeed the Ceann Comhairle, is how amendments agreed in the Dáil proceeded to not be recorded as such. You cannot amend something twice. You cannot take out "public order" if it has already been taken out, so I am wondering how that came about.
