Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Nov 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: My intention is to oppose the section. I have outlined issues but a number of questions remain unanswered about this section. It would be helpful if the Minister of State was willing to publish the legal advice, but that usually does not happen. Maybe she will explain the basis on which it was determined to reassign the functions of the controller to the courts, because that is one of the...

Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Nov 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is a reciprocal arrangement anyway. While it is welcome that the Minister of State is finally bringing our legislation in line with the Performances and Phonograms Treaty, WPPT, of the World Intellectual Property Organization, WIPO, and the International Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organisations, I want her to clarify that...

Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Nov 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is one those issues where it is difficult to quantify its full effect. My attempt was to try, at the very least, to ensure those who are performers and producers can get their fair share. However, if in some countries there is a different approach, who is going to be at a loss? The Minister of State has just stated some countries in the EU will be at a loss or potentially at a loss. We...

Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Nov 2025)

Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee Stage (Resumed) (12 Nov 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It demonstrates to me the need for speed on this so there is no ongoing loss over several years. As Deputy Gogarty said, we do not want this parked for five or six years, or longer. Sometimes minor changes can have a great effect on the performers but in this case there will be a profound effect if it is not addressed. This is why they call it. I have no problem at this stage in...

The intention is to insert the following in line 2: "either of the following treaties, and applies the same approach to Irish citizens on the basis of...

Arts (Recognition of Comedy) (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Nov 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will address the last point first. There is absolutely nothing in the Bill that requires a delay. The Minister has the Brennan report from the Arts Council. It will appear and require a study and perhaps legislation. There is no reason this Bill and the other cannot progress when needs be. There is nothing stopping us from having two arts Bills in the same Dáil term. This is...

Arts (Recognition of Comedy) (Amendment) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 Nov 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time." Tá Aire Stáit na Saincheisteanna Tráthúla anseo inniu. Tá fáilte roimhe. Níl a fhios agam an bhfuil an tAire, an Teachta O’Donovan, ag teacht isteach. Is mór an trua é nach bhfuil sé anseo ar dtús báire. B’fhéidir go dtiocfaidh sé. Chonaic mé...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: MeDeMAP Research Project: Engagement with the National Citizens' Parliament for Media and Democracy (5 Nov 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Gabhaim buíochas leis na finnéithe as teacht anseo. We do not have much time. The last slide is the one that probably will stand out for us all. It refers to the EU introducing traceable identification of social media users. We have all seen the damage that can be done not just to politics and democracy in general but also to individuals when people hide behind anonymity. It is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport: MeDeMAP Research Project: Engagement with the National Citizens' Parliament for Media and Democracy (5 Nov 2025)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: On that point, just short of 50 years ago, as an experiment in our school, a series of classes on media studies were introduced that were not on the curriculum. We all took an interest. The person delivering it was interested in computers. At that stage, I found it so useful to be able to look at different stories from different perspectives. In this day and age, every child, from the age...
