The Oireachtas sub-committee on 'European Scrutiny' lists 276/2005 (aka IPRED2) as one of the items on its agenda for tomorrow (Thursday 6th) - it's along with a truly weird list of other proposals including "placing on the market of rye bread with added phytosterols/ phytostanols as novel foods or novel food ingredients" (!), so I'm not sure how much detailed attention it will get.
This may have been mentioned on the list before, but I'm not entirely sure. Apologies if so.

There seems to be too little time to explain out concerns to someone, but it would be good to find out the outcome of their discussion, and to make them aware that someone is concerned about this.
To achieve these two, can someone phone them first thing in the morning to ask where the result of the discussion can be found?
(I can't since I'm in school from 07h30 until 13h00 Irish time)
Mentioning that you're concerned about "overpowering" copyright infringement, and/or extreme measures making the small risks of software development too dangerous for most, and/or whatever you think.

I phoned just now but I got answering machines. The session is probably in progress.
The record generally appears fairly quickly afterwards, as well as a summary of decisions. The scrutiny committee typically hears from civil servants (and others) and then decides to send it to another Oireachtas committee for substantive hearings (if it's an important issue) or just for information (if it's a no-brainer). There should be a verbatim transcript online this week or next anyway.
