Rónán Mullen (Independent)

I thank the Minister of State. Under the Lisbon treaty, the EU has the competency to legislate on criminal matters. There is the cross-border dimension. Recently, an amendment was proposed in the European Parliament about making disseminating pornographic content online without the age verification tools that effectively prevent children from accessing such content potentially punishable. This is an area where I would like to see progress. I would be grateful if the Minister of State would take that to the Government and into discussions with Europe in whatever way possible.
