As a member of the committee, I will be forceful in arguing the case for a European solution to this problem into which we can feed. We might want to be heroes, but that is not possible because this is an international problem. The Chairman and I have attended meetings of the Joint Parliamentary Scrutiny Group on Europol. The latter should be leading the way on this matter. The Government should be using our influence in Europe which is immense, as we have seen in recent times, to seek to identify a European strategy. It is not just Irish children who are being harmed but children throughout Europe and the world. We will play our role in leading a campaign within the European Union to implement a borderless European and international solution to this growing problem.
