Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Digital Services Bill 2023: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Ms Greene is satisfied that the Minister would be satisfied that would happen. The committee has no knowledge of the level of resources the Media Commission has, how it functions or how it can take on this work. It strikes me that this is incredibly important, and it would really suit people who want to be able to circumvent the rules. I am not suggesting anyone would, but if someone were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Digital Services Bill 2023: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: We would want to start from the best possible place. I understand the need for this to be done in a timely manner but I am more persuaded by the argument that we have to get this right, which I think is more important. Speed cannot be allowed to trump perfection in this instance. I went through it earlier and I have some notes. On head 7 on notification orders to take down content, how...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Digital Services Bill 2023: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: The regulation will place additional responsibilities on them. How is that going to work in terms of compensation in cases of financial fraud? Will it be the job of the media commissioner to pursue money? How will it work?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Digital Services Bill 2023: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: Ms Greene mentioned that issues would be flagged up. In head 10, there is a reference to trusted flaggers, which is a bit of an odd term. Are these trusted flaggers only going to look for illegal content? Is that their function? Who will they be?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Digital Services Bill 2023: Discussion (19 Apr 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: This comes back to my original point. I have no knowledge of Coimisiún na Meán. I do not know if it has the capacity or capabilities to do this work. I do not know if it is interested in doing it or anything about it at all because all of that discussion happened at another committee - in-depth, as I understand - over a period of months. We have come full circle. I see that the...

Organised Crime: Statements (20 Apr 2023)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the opportunity to make a contribution to this debate. After 12 years in government, it is clear that Fine Gael is soft on crime. Through its lack of leadership and the lack of funding and resources for An Garda Síochána, organised crime has been allowed to spiral and devastate countless communities. The Government has presided over a continued deterioration in the...
