Mr. Dualta Ó Broin:

If it were possible to introduce the national legislative measures today, we would engage with those rules as a company established in Ireland. The European Commission spokesperson has confirmed that not only will the Digital Services Act address illegal online content, but it will also address the systems that platforms have in place for harmful online contact. Therefore, given that the Digital Services Act is coming down the track, it may be more prudent to focus on that. If the Government and the members decide to progress with the proposed legislation before us, we simply ask that a separate part of the legislation be created so that the national measures and the European-wide measures could separated out so that there is clarity for citizens in Ireland and those in the EU in respect of their rights and the requirements that are placed on service providers.
