Committee on European Union Affairs

Engagement with Coimisiún na Meán

2:00 am

Dr. John Evans:

That is not a focus of our work at the moment. It is a recognised problem, though, that often when one engages in transactions online, one is bombarded with terms and conditions. The most frequent lie is probably, "Yes, I have read them and consent". It is a problem. That line of work is not something we are looking at at the moment but potentially we are happy to engage further on it.
