Seanad: Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Committee Stage (3 Oct 2018)

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Minister of State for clarifying issues. Some of my comments would be better addressed to the later amendments Nos. 6 to 8, inclusive. The entirety of our amendments share the same purpose and that is to ensure there is greater balance in terms of user rights and so on. I take the point made by the Minister of State about the language used in amendments Nos. 3 to 5, inclusive....

Ivana Bacik: There are libraries in educational institutions.

Seanad: Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Committee Stage (3 Oct 2018)

Ivana Bacik: I take the point made by the Minister of State. Of course, municipal libraries and Dublin City Council libraries, for example, are very different from lectures in universities, institutes of technology or colleges. Obviously there are libraries in educational institutions where public lectures are given too.

Seanad: Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Committee Stage (3 Oct 2018)

Ivana Bacik: Yes, certainly. It just seems that there is some duplication - certainly there is some overlap. Perhaps the principle Act provides for that, but I am not aware that there is a different definition of libraries in educational institutions.

Seanad: Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Committee Stage (3 Oct 2018)

Ivana Bacik: I have not contributed on this amendment before but it seems, listening to the debate, that Senator Warfield was raising a matter that deserves serious consideration in the course of the debate on this Bill. The Minister of State is saying that until the feasibility study concludes, he cannot engage in any other way of dealing with the matter through this Bill. It seems a pity, given that...

Seanad: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (Gender Pay Gap) Information Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (3 Oct 2018)

Ivana Bacik: I thank the Minister of State for clarifying his intentions on the Government Bill and, as he stated, we are seeking to be constructive. Everybody is in agreement on where we wish to be. We all wish to see pay transparency legislation introduced and to tackle the ongoing gender pay gap. However, it has been nearly a year since the Bill before the House passed Committee Stage.

Seanad: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission (Gender Pay Gap) Information Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages (3 Oct 2018)

Ivana Bacik: There is lots of expertise here and we have had many debates on the issue so it would be appropriate to introduce it here. I welcome our guests in the Gallery.
