Acquisition of Development Land (Assessment of Compensation) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (16 Jun 2021)

Johnny Mythen: I commend the Labour Party on bringing forward this Bill. It does not offer the full solution to our country's diabolical housing crisis but it does provide a significant valuable tool to local authorities to combat land hoarding and landbanking. Herein lies the inevitable challenge. There are existing unregulated land banks where developers distort the market by limiting supply. Owners...

I appreciate that the overall objective...

Fisheries and Coastal Communities: Statements (17 Jun 2021)

Johnny Mythen: I must start with the recent European Commission decision that fishers must weigh their catch at the pier. Be under no illusion that this will be, as described by local fishers, the final nail in the coffin for the fishing industry. In County Wexford, fishers landing at Kilmore Quay bring their catch a mere 200 m from the pier to the factory to be weighed. It is entirely counterproductive...

Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Jun 2021)

Johnny Mythen: Ms Twomey's opening statement mentioned self-regulation. I can understand the benefit of the industry playing a role; there is concern that if industry leads the regulation, it also sets the agenda rather than those who are impacted by the potential harms that we want to prevent. How does she ensure that any self regulation is not unduly influenced by the motivations of private corporations...

Mental Health (Capacity to Consent to Treatment) Bill 2021: First Stage (23 Jun 2021)

Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: Future of Media in Ireland: Discussion (16 Jun 2021)

Johnny Mythen: I thank the witnesses for appearing before the committee. How is it proposed to protect small local media outlets? We are in a sea of media outlets at the moment with more coming on board. Particularly in rural areas, local newspapers and local magazines are very important to the community. The areas of disinformation and media literacy are important but are also notoriously difficult...

Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht: General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jun 2021)

Johnny Mythen: I agree with Deputy Dillon and Senator Cassells. There were three head changes beforehand which we were not made aware of by the Minister. She apologised for the disruption to the committee. I would say that every member was at least mildly embarrassed. I am glad that community radio stations will be exempt from the levy. I am concerned about medium-sized radio stations such as in...
