Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Online Content Moderation: Discussion
Ms Cori Crider:
My hope is that there will be an outcome which leads to the mental health being properly protected, properly assessed and properly regulated. It is for the Legislature rather than us to say whether the HSA is equipped to do that. Our experience did not build a huge amount of confidence. I was interested in the idea raised previously regarding a pending regulation on online safety that it is, perhaps, not too late to amend to incorporate at least some of the issues that we are raising. That sounds like a productive way forward.
