Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Sorca Clarke: I have a clarifying question. It is quite possible I did not hear correctly what the Minister said. It makes no sense that there is an EU system for the protection of languages that we cannot extend or Irish is not entitled to the same level of protection as another EU language.

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Sorca Clarke: I share the concerns raised by Deputy Munster. When speaking of the online world, we are speaking about a very different reality. Often people's behaviour online does not reflect the behaviour they exhibit when standing in front of someone. If an individual were to receive a sexually explicit message – via an app, let us say – would it be a defence to say the intent was not...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Sorca Clarke: I will make a brief comment on amendment No. 304. I take on board what the Minister has said. This amendment was proposed by Conradh na Gaeilge to allow the commission a role in establishing a grant scheme for the purpose of supporting and promoting good quality journalistic practices and standards around community, specifically in respect of the Irish language. In considering this...

(1) For the purposes of this section, ‘Irish cultural works’ are defined as works that satisfy the following criteria: (a) works of music that satisfy two of the following criteria: (i) the music or lyrics are composed or written by a resident of...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Sorca Clarke: I move amendment No. 307: In page 129, line 40, after “cent” to insert the following: “, or in which the share of works in the Irish language, from 31 December 2030, is less than 5 per cent, and from 31 December 2035, is less than 10 per cent”. These amendments seek to replicate what is done in other member states, using powers given under the AVMSD. It is...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Sorca Clarke: I have one supplementary question on that issue. In light of the content of the Minister’s statement towards the end, has she reviewed the agreement that France made with the providers?

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Sorca Clarke: My initial reaction to that would be that we would not be having the conversation about how low Irish output production is if levies such as that worked. This seems to be something that is quite innovative and new. If it can work in that specific regard in relation to cultural output in French, it is something we should be looking to mirror - perhaps not replicate in its entirety, but...

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Sorca Clarke: Without some significant change in direction, I would be concerned this is a conversation we will be having again in another 15 or 20 years, where Irish output still remains very low in comparison with our EU neighbours.

Select Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Oct 2022)

Sorca Clarke: That is why I asked whether the Minister had looked at the French model and what it had done.
