Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Apr 2018)

Jan O'Sullivan: I do not do bad things like certain people across the Atlantic in regard to these matters. I will not name any names. That type of gathering of information is to some extent facilitated and recommended where people are using it to analyse large volumes of information. We have to keep a eye on that as well to ensure it is not misused. I do not believe there is anything in the Bill that...

Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Second Stage (18 Apr 2018)

Jan O'Sullivan: We will support the Bill, which is complex and technical. It is unlikely to keep the political correspondents up late at night as other Bills might, but it is important for those directly affected.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Schools Building Programme Delays: Discussion (17 Apr 2018)

Jan O'Sullivan: I thank the three witnesses for coming before the committee. I have a simple question for each of them. They have described the frustrations, difficulties and so on but what would they like to see changed, particularly in terms of their relationship with the Department, communication and being able to have a say in what is happening, as well as knowing the situation in each of their...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Schools Building Programme Delays: Discussion (17 Apr 2018)
