Communications Regulation Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2023-01-25
============================================================

Aengus Ó Snodaigh (CC), Dublin South-Central

Amendments Nos. 10, 11, 15 to 17, inclusive, 20, 22 and 24 propose the substitution of "third party" for "third country". The purpose of the Bill is to transpose the EU directive and the Bill, accordingly, is limited to the scope of third countries and excludes the EU and associated countries, the EEA, Switzerland and the UK. The substitution of "third party" for "third country" broadens the scope of the Bill and would mean the Bill would apply to the EU and associated countries. The amendments must, therefore, be ruled out of order in accordance with Standing Order 187(1) as they are outside the scope of the Bill.
