🔞Age Verification legislation in Ireland v the DSA ⚠️At the second reading of this Bill, Minister Martin indicated that the proposed Age Verification Bill is not compliant with the Digital Services Act … there are a number of significant legal and technical issues with the Bill's approach to addressing this matter. The main issue is that the Bill does not set out any role for Coimisiún na Meán Ireland's online safety and media regulator. An coimisiún is at the heart of Ireland's online safety framework which is built around the recent landmark legislative measures of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Act, the Digital Services Act and the terrorist content online regulation. The online safety framework requires online platforms to put in place systems and processes to reduce the availability of harmful online content and address access to age-inappropriate online content. It puts the onus on these platforms to ensure their services meet their obligations and there are severe penalties, up to and including criminal sanctions, for non-compliance. 🇪🇺It is important to note that Ireland is not alone in building this online safety framework. 🌐It is interwoven with related robust EU measures. This is important because Ireland alone cannot make the Internet safer for children. We must do it together, in collaboration with our fellow EU member states and the European Commission. Coimisiún na Meán has published a revised draft of its online safety code which it intends to adopt later this year. This is a major positive development. 🔰Crucially, the code will be binding and will focus in particular on ensuring the safety of children from harmful online content. It will oblige video-sharing platform services established in Ireland to protect children from harmful and age-inappropriate content like pornography. 🔰The measures these video-sharing platform services must take to deliver on this protection for children include the operation of age verification systems, which includes age assurance measures. 🔰The measures taken must be proportionate to the content and type of content permitted on particular services. 🔰For instance, those designated services that allow pornographic material to be uploaded by users must operate appropriate age assurance mechanisms to ensure children cannot encounter this type of material. 🚸The online safety code will also provide for requirements around the operation of content rating systems, parental controls, and effective reporting, flagging and complaint mechanisms. These measures will further safeguard children against harmful and age-inappropriate content such as pornography. 💰Once the code is applied, it can be enforced by Coimisiún na Meán, including through significant financial penalties of up to €20 million or 10% of turnover. 👮🏼 In addition, continued non-compliance can lead to criminal sanctions for company directors and senior managers. 👇🏻 See more here 👇🏻

The Court of Appeal recently upheld a High Court decision. The decision related to the interpretation of a restrictive covenant in a lease that “food, food products or groceries” means not just food products but includes “non-durable consumable household items which are purchased frequently”. We analyse how the Irish courts interpret restrictive covenants of this type. #MHCLaw #LegalUpdate #RestrictiveCovenants #RealEstate #DisputeResolution
