- Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I join the Minister in congratulating Deputy Funchion. I wish her the best of luck. I thank the Minister for the engagement so far. I support Deputy Sherlock's amendment. It is reasonable. Every one of us here is trying to ensure that childminding is done right everywhere. As I said to the Minister last week, people have a fear of Tusla coming into their houses. On top of that, the...
- Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Seán Sherlock: I take the points made by the Minister. It is the right of every person in this House to put forward amendments and the right of every other person to comment on the quality or otherwise of those amendments. There is a timescale in which to put forward amendments. If people think they can put forward a better amendment than this one, let them do so. While I have the floor, I pay...

Even though we have not always agreed, we have always worked really constructively together. With regard to the Bill, I have come in to support Deputy Sherlock's amendment. I have...
- Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Róisín Shortall: I agree with a certain amount of the sentiment behind this amendment although I do not entirely agree with the wording. I will repeat a point I made on Second Stage, which is that, while it is sometimes a result of need, people very often consciously choose a childminder because they like the informality and the lower minder-child ratio. It is often viewed as being more homely than a...
- Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Roderic O'Gorman: I thank the Deputies for their contributions. I am not able to accept Deputy Sherlock's amendment but I hope that what I am about to say will explain why. The impact of what he is proposing and where he has located the amendment may be wider than he intends. Perhaps I can also provide some words of comfort.

- Digital Services (Levy) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (26 Jun 2024)
Louise O'Reilly: I welcome the clarification. I thank the Minister for that. He sees the purpose of the amendments. This levy should not be a revenue generator in that way. Funds should be ring-fenced for the express work of the regulation and applied only to the hosting and intermediary services. I thank the Minister for that clarification.
