‹ Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation Advertising and Social Media Transparency Bill
Summary
Deputy Calleary asked whether the Government would advance the bill before the European elections. The Tánaiste said he would respond later and raised a possible money message issue.
We are only weeks away from the European elections. These are the first elections since 2016, when there was strong evidence of online interference in the electoral process. Deputy James Lawless has published the Advertising and Social Media Transparency Bill and it has gone through pre-legislative scrutiny. Will the Tánaiste commit that the Government will see it through Committee Stage ahead of the elections?
