This group of amendments made during the Bill's passage through the Dáil seeks to clarify that the jurisdictional test for when a relevant online service which is not a video-sharing platform service is established in Ireland is set out in Article 3 of the e-commerce directive. Amendment No. 14 contains the substantive section, a new section 2C to be inserted into the 2009 Act. Amendments Nos. 15 and 16 involve consequential renumbering. These amendments are purely to give greater legal clarity as to how jurisdiction for such services is determined under the Bill and do not in substance alter the legal framework set out in the Bill.
