Detailed Scrutiny of the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2023: Discussion
1:00 pm
Ms Niamh Ní Charra:
I just want to follow up, if I may. I agree with Dr. O'Dell but I think there is a bit of misunderstanding here. The legislation talks about making everything available but only within regulations. Nobody wants anybody breaking laws here. This is a really important point, whether it is freedom of information or copyright law. In the work that archivists do at the coalface, all of the time, we have to comply with the law. That is not what we are looking at here. What we are doing here is trying to open up as much access as possible within the limitations of legislation and regulation.
