Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-04-26
============================================================

Marie Sherlock (LAB), Labour Panel

Senator Cassells makes an important point and we have repeatedly heard about the level playing field. Do we want to level down or level up? Is it right that the print media is able to carry advertisements by powerful interests? It should not be able to do so. I respect Senator Cassells' arguments but I profoundly disagree. This amendment is here for a good reason. If the Senator was to come with a different amendment we might have a different discussion.
