Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed)
10:30 am

I wish to speak amendment No. 107 in my name. I missed the fact that it is included in this grouping. I have some queries in this regard because the definition made it in without the other definitions that qualify it because they were seen as creating a cost to the State. Yet this amendment allows for the definition of "political purposes". I intend to withdraw this amendment because it does not make sense without changing political ends to political means. I will come back on Report Stage when I figure out how this amendment can work without the others. This amendment was concerned with the definition of "political purposes" in the context of the legislation referring to political ends. I mentioned this point earlier on Committee Stage in respect of discussing political purposes and I think that will suffice to allow me to resubmit an amendment later.
