Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (Resumed)

It only remains for me to thank the witnesses. We have moved to knowing them by their first names and I hope that is okay. I thank Dr. Mary Aiken, Mr. Ronan Lupton and Mr. T.J. McIntyre, not only for their written addresses but also the very thoughtful replies they have given to each of the members able to attend today.

We will conclude our hearings next week when we have the last of our team of people coming before us. We will have representatives of the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre, Women's Aid and SpunOut. I thank people outside who have made written submissions to the process. We hope to conclude a report with recommendations that we will launch if we are still here, as there is some uncertainty as to our future in these Houses. I thank the witnesses again for their contributions. I invite any members following this on their screens to join us for a group photograph with our panellists, which we have taken in each of our session hearings.
