General Scheme of the Representative Actions for the Protection of the Collective Interests of Consumers Bill 2022: Discussion

Ms Sadhbh McGrath:

The Netherlands has changed its system. It has an opt-out system for its residents only, so the Dutch people will have to opt-out. If an Irish person wanted to get involved once this legislation comes through in that jurisdiction, the person will have to opt-in on that.

I do not have the information regarding regulators to hand, but I can respond in writing on that matter.
