Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister for Justice and Equality informs me that his Department is in regular contact with the Deputy's office about the Bill with the view to moving matters on. We certainly want to do that as quickly as we possibly can. When it comes to the Internet and the worldwide web, what I can say is that the era of self-regulation is over. Self-regulation has not worked for the Internet and the tech sector, and we need now to do more. We need to make sure that whatever regulatory moves we make and whatever we put into place actually works and is effective. We are very happy to work on a cross-party basis with Deputy Howlin and others to make that possible.
