Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2022: Report Stage
10:00 am
Alice-Mary Higgins (Independent) | Oireachtas source
The Government's amendment No. 11 deals with the "socio-economic" issue and addresses a number of concerns about linguistic rights that my colleagues and I highlighted throughout the debate. I would have liked to have seen a specific reference to Irish Sign Language but I welcome the recognition of linguistic and socioeconomic diversity and the reference to gender diversity.
I note that my colleagues and I have not rescheduled a number of our Committee Stage amendments in light of the Government's broadening of its text in this section and welcome that step.
