Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I was hoping the Minister of State would be able to indicate that we would look again at this whole section in a way that was not setting in stone some of the problems that have been identified and which, in fact, will continue in a slightly different way the approach that has been taken thus far in terms of the power imbalance between producers and the performers or artists.

Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (17 Jul 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: In some ways, the Title relates to the definition.

We are supposed to give full effect to an EU directive and sometimes we go beyond it. We are supposed to implement EU directives in full. That is what we signed...
