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

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

This amendment seeks to include a specific reference to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. I am aware it is the Minister's preference not to name individual conventions and specific charters but we have ratified this one and we have made a commitment as a State. I believe that we must start embedding it. Again, this is just being consistent with ensuring that we seek to embed it. It is because it is a new commitment that I am seeking to have it embedded in legislation wherever possible.
