Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-07-11
============================================================

Micheál Carrigy (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I welcome what Senators Malcolm Byrne and Cassells have put forward and compliment them on it. It is very important and I thank the Minister for indicating she will accept it. As Senator Malcolm Byrne said, in our discussions at committee level, we find ourselves more informed through discussing issues with that younger generation. They are miles ahead of us in regard to technology and what they see every day. We met the Australian commissioner and hers is the country we need to look to for best practice. It was highlighted that these are regular discussions in that country. I am delighted, therefore, to see this committee provided for, which I will support.
