Digital Safety Commissioner Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Ms Patricia Cronin:

We have gone to the Office of the Attorney General to look for a definition of "harmful". We can bring section 10 to its attention, as referred to by the Deputy, and ask if it feels that is relevant. We will get a response there. The question of the DPP is perhaps more properly a matter for the Department of Justice and Equality. The Department is in the space of illegal digital content. I do not have the answer to be honest. We have gone to the Office of the Attorney General on various aspects of the Bill and await its advice. However, we did not ask about offences or sanctions. Perhaps Deputy Ó Laoghaire can discuss that.
