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

Eugene Murphy (FF), Agricultural Panel

I support Senator Carrigy's amendment. I also support the comments of Senator Cassells, who touched on the point with regard to amateur sports. The level of abuse directed at the people to whom he referred is totally unacceptable. It is typically said to me that many professional sportspeople are well paid, but that is not the point. The point is that no abuse should be directed towards anybody online, regardless of whether they are professional or amateur.
