Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: Amendment No. 14 seeks to provide an coimisiún with the power to compel online services to provide any data requested that pertains to public interest research or any data that the commissioner deems to be relevant in protection of the common good. I do not believe it is appropriate to give a regulatory body a general power to compel the disclosure of information based on what would...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: Gabhaim buíochas arís leis na Teachtaí as a gcuid leasuithe. In Uimh. 15 agus 16, iarrtar leasú a dhéanamh ar fhoráil sa Bhille go ndéanfaidh coimisiún na meán a dhícheall lena chinntiú go bhfreastalóidh a bheartais maidir le seirbhísí craolacháin agus físe ar éileamh ar an bhealach is fearr ar riachtanais...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: Mar a dúirt mé cheana, cuireadh leasú ar Cheim na Tuarascála sa Seanad go ndéanfadh an coimisiún úsáid na Gaeilge a chur chun cinn agus a spreagadh sna meáin chumarsáide a fheidhmíonn sa Stát. Rinneadh déileáil leis an leasú sin sa Seanad. On hearing and seeing more Irish language programming, I point to the media...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: The Bill already addresses the issue, which is essentially about the co-operation between regulatory bodies on the issue of gambling, by setting out that coimisiún na meán must co-operate, in relation to the regulation of gambling, with any public body concerned with that matter. This means that on establishment, an coimisiún will co-operate with the existing public bodies...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: I move amendment No. 23: In page 22, line 1, to delete “section 48(3), (4) or (5)” and substitute “subsection (3), (4) or (5) of section 48”. This is a grouping of purely technical amendments. Amendment Nos. 23 and 24 clarify references in the Bill to the functions an coimisiún may delegate to an individual commissioner. These amendments do not change...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: The amendment does not refer to a person. It simply substitutes "an unfair preference is not given" for "they do not give an unfair preference". Is the Deputy wondering whether this only applies to political parties?

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: The Bill does read "political party", so perhaps that is something we need to examine.

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: The Deputy’s point is well made. We will examine it and revert on Report Stage.

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: I move amendment No. 24: In page 22, line 4, to delete “section 139W(6) or (8)” and substitute “subsection (6) or (8) of section 139ZE”.

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: Gabhaim buíochas leis na Teachtaí Ó Snodaigh, Munster agus Mythen as a gcuid leasuithe. I leasuithe Uimh. 25, 27 agus 28, iarrtar inniúlacht sa Ghaeilge a bheith ag bunlíon de bhaill fhoirne nó coimisinéirí i gcoimisiún na meán. It is important to set out the overarching legislative background that has been in place since the enactment of...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: I move amendment No. 26: In page 25, line 36, to delete “a nominee of the person” and substitute “a person acting on behalf of the person”.

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: I thank the Deputies who tabled the amendment and those who contributed on it. As they said, the Bill already provides that community broadcasters will not be liable for the industry levy, so this is focused on commercial radio broadcasters. I value the service being provided by local radio. I grew up not too far from Deputy Munster and I relied on LMFM and Northern Sound. I know the...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: I move amendment No. 4: In page 9, line 36, to delete “section 139ZZ(3)” and substitute “section 139ZZH(3)”.

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: As I said, the Bill provides for up to 50%. I understand the Deputy's concerns about the word "can", but that technical group is looking at how that could be applied. Deputy Canney knows his target audience. He went for the soft spot when he mentioned music with me. He got there before Deputy Cannon. The Department has provided funding in the sound and vision fund for musicians. I...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: I move amendment No. 31: In page 32, line 33, to delete “monies” and substitute “moneys”.

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: I move amendment No. 32: In page 33, lines 12 and 13, to delete “Central Fund” and substitute “Exchequer”.

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: I thank the Deputy for his amendments. Before turning to matters of language, I must note that it is not usual practice to lay documents before specified Oireachtas committees which are already being laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas. On that basis, I cannot accept amendments Nos. 35 and 38. Amendments Nos. 34, 36 and 37 require the annual report and statement of strategy to be...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: I will come back to the Deputy on that. I understand the concern he as raised earlier as well. I can see the need for certainty.

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (25 Oct 2022)

Catherine Martin: This amendment seeks to make statutory provision for consultation on the provision of a dedicated Irish-language youth radio service. I will not accept this amendment because the Future of Media Commission recommended that coimisiún na meán undertake a comprehensive review of the provision of Irish language services across the media system and the results of that review will inform...
