Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We have all known for some time that access to vile and violent material, including that of a pornographic nature , on the Internet and through social media is deeply troubling and has real life consequences. When there is a high-profile case such as that which we have seen, it crystallises everybody's attention on the issue. The Taoiseach has made a commitment to establish an office of a digital safety commissioner. That is to be welcomed and it is essential that it happen. I remind him that Sinn Féin moved a Bill on this matter which passed Second Stage and which went to committee in early 2018. Therefore, there is a legislative basis to move on. I do not think the Government or anybody else should be precious about who initiates legislation to make the changes that we know need to happen. I ask the Taoiseach to consider the Bill to which I refer as an avenue to move forward and get something on the Statute Book expeditiously.
