Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Mary Aiken:

I wish to go on the record to respectfully disabuse the committee of the notion that, following on from Mr. Lupton's point, that it may need to do very little. I disagree with that. The committee needs to act urgently. Harm is being done. Children are being affected. The idea of doing very little is totally unacceptable. I do not want to be part of a process that provides the Government with an alibi for doing nothing while harm is being done.
