Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion

Mr. Michael Gubbins:

I cannot give the Deputy anything this morning. I will take her question away and come back with an answer because I do not have the facts or the figures. I would have to utilise the Garda analysis service to help me with that. Mr. Ryan and I can probably speak anecdotally about what we see coming before us. With child abuse imagery, one will generally find that males are the offenders. There is a mixture of offenders and victims, both male and female, involved in online harassment.
