Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill 2017: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Kieran Grace:

The then Minister said she wanted to finalise a range of proposals aimed at making the market work better for consumers. Anything aimed at making something work better implies that it is not working currently.

In the context of naming Belgium, Croatia and so on and the reason for doing so, rather than naming the other 20 members of the EU, it was easier to name only six members of the EU that have the legislation, including Norway which is a member of the European Economic Area, EEA. There are a number of other members of the EEA. I was aware of the fact that my contribution was limited to ten minutes and so I did not list them all.
