Dara Calleary: It is not our intention to exclude. Amendment No. 27 relates to applications from recognised trade unions for the status of vetted researchers.

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Dara Calleary: I certainly hear where the Deputy is coming from. I emphasise that I am not excluding unions or NGOS, but the success of this is predicated on an EU basis. The implementation is harmonised across all member states. We are very limited and cannot really deviate from the actual DSA, which has been passed and is in place. The requirement there is that research is a primary goal of the...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

Dara Calleary: We are not necessarily widening it. The parameters are very tight, but I do not want to exclude anybody that has a legitimate role in this space. I am certainly open to it, within the very tight parameters of an EU Act that has already been passed and is already in legislation. I do not want to exclude anybody who has something to add in this space. I emphasise, regarding trusted...

Select Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Digital Services Bill 2023: Committee Stage (17 Jan 2024)

We want to make sure, and we agree with the Deputy, that trusted flagger status cannot be used as a means of...
