General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Una Fitzpatrick:
On senior management liability, the call from Technology Ireland members is for much greater clarity on when that may arise. If these are systemic, repeated and serious offences that are not being addressed by the company and senior management, a process should be there. Many of Technology Ireland's members intend to engage, and already do, with authorities to address issues. We would like further clarity on what the process would be and on the criteria for any of those sanctions to come into play. It is still a bit loose or unclear as to when they may kick in, and that is the point on which our members would like clarity.
