Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht
General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Tríona Quill:
The Deputy will appreciate that the publication of the Bill is a political decision. As a general point, it is worth noting that as was the case with the Broadcasting (Amendment) Bill 2019, changes can also be made on Committee Stage, when it can be decided to add in legislative provisions. However, I cannot comment on the specific issue that the Deputy has raised. It is a matter for the Minister.
