I'd never heard of it either but apparently it's already passed through the dáil. Seems like it's coming. I believe it's well intentioned and I generally agree with it but my concern is around a future potentially authoritarian government that might abuse it to silence dissent.
I'm just about to add a top level comment with my digging. Will link it here in a minute.
