Ms Niamh Sweeney:

If it is Facebook Live, it is much easier to pinpoint. However, such a video could be coming from any source. We have had contact with Tusla since the programme was broadcast and are in the process of setting up a meeting with its representatives. The Deputy is correct that these are issues we must revisit, but sometimes it is not quite as simple as just reaching out to the relevant law enforcement agency. There is a co-ordinated global effort led by the NCMEC in the United States to deal with child sexual exploitation. There is no equivalent organisation here to deal with any type of child abuse video or image that is not sexual in nature. However, we are re-examining this issue from scratch and I do not say that by way of an excuse or a defence.
