Seanad: Residential Tenancies (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2018: Report and Final Stages (21 May 2019)

David Norris: I am almost finished. The writer continues:I could increase the number of bedrooms by converting the attic. Planning permission has already been obtained for the same. However, I will not achieve the 25% increase. The correspondent asks that the required increase be reduced to 15%. I am making the case for this amendment in the context of the considerable distress in which some landlords...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 May 2019)

David Norris: I second Senator Humphreys' proposed amendment to the Order of Business. When I arrived here this morning, I noticed a young man who was transferring plants from a box to a plant holder at the back of the building. We do not often appreciate the valuable work done to make this House look beautiful, even with the renovations that are ongoing. The plants are beautiful and make it a worthy...

David Norris: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Halligan. I welcome the amendments. The Minister of State arranged for us to have a series of very useful meetings with officials from his Department and, as a result of that, a number of our difficulties were ironed out. I wish to express my gratitude to the Minister of State for arranging that.

Seanad: Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Report Stage (15 May 2019)

David Norris: I move amendment No. 5:In page 16, line 18, after “given in” to insert “an educational institution or in”. The provisions in this section of the Bill seem to have been narrowed to libraries and archives. I thought it was a good idea to extend the section to include educational institutions to make it perfectly clear and specific that they were involved and...

Seanad: Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (15 May 2019)

David Norris: The Minister of State makes a fairly persuasive argument, first that this matter is properly in the remit of another Department, namely, the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. Second, he has given a commitment to this House that work in this area will continue and that officials from his Department will support those from the other Department in formulating this policy.

Seanad: Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (15 May 2019)

Seanad: Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (15 May 2019)

David Norris: This is a very substantial series of amendments. The first refers to fair dealing, the concept that someone is allowed to use material without infringing copyright for certain purposes, covers public lectures and educational establishments, format shifting for private use, in other words taking it from one medium to another, for example, from a computer to a mobile phone and very...

Seanad: Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (15 May 2019)

David Norris: I was astonished when the Minister's advisers told us that the holders of copyright had not indicated their desire for levies, compensation and so on. Who am I to second guess the copyright holders? If they are not interested, there is no reason for me to pursue this particular matter so I will have to accept what the Minister of State says. If we had a series of votes, nothing would be...
