It is not and the amendment does not create an offence by this provision and it does not appear elsewhere in the Bill. It is not something that could be dealt with based on this amendment. Separate to where somebody sends images and it turns into a form of harassment, which is covered under the harassment element of the legislation, somebody sending a picture is not covered in this, and, unfortunately, the amendment tabled by the Deputy does not create it as an offence.

It does not appear in the rest of the Bill so it cannot progress.
