Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Cybersecurity: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. John O'Driscoll:

-----subject to bail conditions. In terms of convicted people it is an issue that could possibly be explored and it might be put in legislation in a more defined way. Restrictions on travel could potentially also be part of a sentence imposed. It is an area that could be advanced further. I appreciate how the priest who has raised the issue in the Philippines where he is working, sees what is happening and the impact it has on children when people are coming from the European Union and other countries.

I am not sure if I have left anything out but I will let Mr. Declan Daly speak to the committee about particular initiatives in that area.
