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:

I have some general comments. First, the Department is not in a position to make any comment on the money message issue. That is not a matter for this Department.

Second, for the benefit of the committee and to remind Deputy Quinlivan, the Minister, Deputy Heather Humphreys, in a parliamentary question in 18 April 2018, stated that she is "currently finalising a range of proposals aimed at helping ensure that ticket markets work better for consumers".
