Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2007: Report and Final Stages
11:00 am
Michael Ahern (Cork East, Fianna Fail)
I thank Senator Alex White especially for his interest in the legislation. I and my officials have noted the views he has expressed. We will return to the Bill in the Dáil. I thank him and all the other Senators for their contributions. It is important that Ireland comes into compliance with the EU directives or there will be a large fine to pay. It is also important for authors to receive the remuneration to which they are entitled.
I thank the staff of the Bills Office and the Seanad, as well as my officials, for the efficient work they have carried out on this legislation.
