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

Michael McNamara (IND), Clare

I move amendment No. 27:
In page 23, line 24, to delete “or public order.” and substitute the following:
“and whereso occurs the Minister shall certify that the notice was made in the interests of national security.”.
If the Minister is taking a measure on the basis of national security, as Ministers and Governments must do, what is wrong with saying a measure is being taken on the basis of national security? That is my only question.
