Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion

Mr. Michael Gubbins:

From a Garda point of view, the term for years was "child pornography", and it has become "child abuse material" in our vernacular in recent years. We have moved away from using the word "porn". It is within the legislation, so we have to refer to it then, but when we are describing imagery, we use "child sexual abuse imagery".
