General Scheme of Sale of Tickets (Cultural, Entertainment, Sporting And Recreational Events) Bill 2020: Discussion
Ms Clare McNamara:
Yes, we are happy. The bot provision in the directive is very similar to what we would have included in the legislation.
In fact, the bot provision in that directive is very similar to what we would have been including in this legislation. The only difference is that because it is part of consumer rights legislation, it is stronger in respect of penalties and co-operation with other member states, but we are confident that the bot issue will be covered. We expect to go to Government early in the new year with the general scheme of that Bill.
