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

Catherine Martin (GP), Dublin Rathdown

As I set out on Committee Stage, I would be concerned that, as drafted, this amendment would have the unintended consequence of preventing an employee of an coimisiún from seeking to influence any considerations of an coimisiún regarding the contract of that employee. This amendment would seem to prevent employees from representing their interests to an coimisiún, their employer.
This provision in the Bill, as currently drafted, was designed to prevent those very such scenarios from occurring. Accordingly, I do not accept this amendment.
