Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy Heydon for raising this important matter. Preliminary work has begun on that Bill, and I will ask the relevant Minister to give the Deputy a more comprehensive update. As the Deputy is probably aware, the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Deputy Zappone, the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Naughten, and the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, attended an Oireachtas committee on this important issue yesterday. It clearly requires that Departments work together in the interests of protecting our nation, our industry and our children, as well as those who rely on and use the Internet.
