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

Micheál Carrigy (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I am quite supportive of amendment No. 172. It looks after, in particular, the instances that involve children. I look to the recommendations of the Oireachtas joint committee that we made. Recommendation No. 24 proposed an actual ban on advertising, at the very minimum for junk food, alcohol, high-fat foods and gambling. It is important that this commitment is there within the Bill. It is not there at present. I support amendment No. 172.
