Mr. Ronan Lupton:

I agree with the Senator on the overall position, about which he is clear. There is an adjunct point, about which I have written. There is a role for the Department of Education and Skills, the national curriculum and taking a proper approach to cybereducation. I do not want to spend too long on this point, but it is worth stating for the record. If we educate people properly in the home - there are a number of programmes operating in this sphere, although, again, they are under-resourced, it feeds into a societal awareness of online harm, problems and criminality, etc. This goes hand in hand with holding platforms and companies to account when things go wrong. There is work to be done outside the committe, and I am sorry for adding to it. The curriculum must be examined and there should be support for families, perhaps from Tusla, in educating them on how to engage with the Internet. That is where the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Zappone, sits.
