Seanad: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Feb 2024)

Lynn Ruane: It is unusual to have reports ruled out of order on the grounds of posing a cost to the State.

It has always been a positive addition to much of the legislation that has passed through the House. I...

Seanad: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Feb 2024)

I also want to note the accessibility of online platforms in relation to the UNCPRD, which is also similar in terms of the last...

Seanad: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Feb 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I move amendment No. 8: In page 18, line 6, to delete “may” and substitute “shall”. Amendments Nos. 8 and 9 seek to strengthen wording in the Bill by specifying that an authorised officer shall rather than may impose a daily penalty on an online platform for an ongoing contravention of the regulation. In order for the regulation to constitute a meaningful...

Seanad: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Feb 2024)

Lynn Ruane: I will put on the record that this amendment only changes "shall" to "may". It makes a provision for a block order to be issued whenever the request is made rather than allowing the measure to me discretionary. I am not sure whether this amendment has accidentally ended up being ruled out of order because it is very like all the other amendments in terms of "may" and "shall". It is a...
