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

Catherine Martin (GP), Dublin Rathdown

As we discussed on Committee Stage, I do not see the rationale for setting a time period in legislation for public consultation on a media service code or rule. Given the principles underpinning the establishment of coimisiún na meán, I do not anticipate an coimisiún running a time-constrained public consultation process to deliberately avoid scrutiny. Accordingly, I cannot accept the amendment.
