I ask the Taoiseach about promised legislation on revenge porn. I refer to revealing or explicit pictures or videos posted on the Internet without the consent of the subject. This is linked to very serious psychological harm to the persons involved. The aim is to humiliate and degrade the victim. There has been a significant increase in the numbers of victims. I know a young man in my constituency who sadly took his own life as a result of this. Victims are unprotected at present. Obviously, people should be very careful in terms of the type of content-----
