Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Social Media: Discussion

11:20 am

Ms Deirdre O'Keeffe:

That is a matter for the Department of Education and Skills. One of the big benefits of the office is that it has networks with other people. Representatives of the education sector and the National Parents Council Primary are involved on our Internet safety advisory committee. We work closely with them on all of these issues. The views of the various partners on what should be done are discussed and the diversity of opinion is analysed at that committee on an ongoing basis. We work closely with our colleagues in the Department of Education and Skills, which is responsible for the development of teacher training programmes. We have formalised and informal links with them.
