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

Micheál Carrigy (FG), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I fully support amendment No. 12. When we look at the Bill as it is, and the powers and functions of the commission, it states the commission "shall endeavour to ensure ... that the interests of the public, and in particular the interests of children, are protected". This is an online safety Bill so it is important that we consider that word "safety". It is about the interests and safety of children.
