Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Ms Niamh Sweeney:

On the first point about legislation, last year the Law Reform Commission made several recommendations with respect to updating criminal offences in some of the areas upon which we have touched. We are supportive of those, particularly around the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, otherwise known as revenge porn, online harassment, upskirting, and all those things.
