Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Consumer Rights Bill 2021: Discussion (13 Oct 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank Ms McNamara and her team for the comprehensive presentation. The witnesses are aware, as we are in my office, that this is budget week.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Consumer Rights Bill 2021: Discussion (13 Oct 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: To be clear, the budgetary increase was to specifically resource this area. Does Ms McNamara have details - I did not see them if they were published as part of the budgetary process - on the projected number of staff who will be recruited and if they will have specific expertise? Perhaps that is a question for another day.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the Consumer Rights Bill 2021: Discussion (13 Oct 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I have one final question. Under Part 7, reference is made to the grey list of consumer contract terms presumed to be unfair and the blacklist of terms that are automatically unfair. Will Ms McNamara provide examples of how that will work in practice? While I have a sense of what it means, if she can provide practical examples, it would give me a better understanding.

Broadcasting (Amendment) (Protection of Journalism) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (7 Oct 2021)

Louise O'Reilly: I recognise the work of my colleague, an Teachta Cullinane, in this regard. It is important legislation and, indeed, as the Minister herself has stated, media plurality and freedom of the press are essential parts of a functioning democracy. I am a bit confused by her contribution. She said she wanted to draw our attention to the adoption of the Council of Europe resolution on the safety...
