This amendment seeks to require an coimisiún to provide an explanation to the Minister and to the Houses of the Oireachtas whenever it withdraws any online safety guidance materials or advisory notices. I am not proposing to accept this amendment. There are already a range of Oireachtas oversight mechanisms built into the Bill and, in that context, I am advised it is not appropriate to require it to account in this way for this specific type of decision. For example, it would appear it could apply in a situation where an coimisiún was withdrawing some guidance because it was updated with new guidance, which would seem to be overly burdensome.
