Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-02-08
============================================================

Dara Calleary (FF), Mayo

My understanding is the amendment relates to a provision in the Bill that a person may make a complaint to Coimisiún na Meán if there has been a failure by the intermediary service provider to comply with a provision of the DSR. The amendment proposes that the text of the Bill be changed so as to explicitly state that complaints can be made about a provider or providers.
I do not see the amendment as necessary because I do not see anything in the text of the Bill that would prohibit a person from making a complaint against more than one provider that has failed to comply with a provision the DSR and, therefore, I cannot accept the amendment. The Bill does not in any way go against multiple complaints. It is something in the regulation that I will alert Coimisiún na Meán to to make the processes as efficient as possible for the user.
