The expert advisory group will be examining a proposal that will raise complex legal and practical matters, as I mentioned earlier. For example, in one context there is the complexity in the Irish constitutional and legal context of upholding fundamental rights and respecting due process requirements for complainants, online services and the uploaders of content subject to complaint. From a practical perspective, there are questions regarding the design and resource implications.

For that reason, the expert advisory group I will announce in the coming days will need to be able to draw from a wide and diverse range of expertise and experience. I am seeking: legal expertise, especially in the complexities of regulating the online world; knowledge of and expertise in the operation of complaints systems in other contexts; experience in the protection of children's rights in an online environment; and knowledge of and expertise in practical requirements, such as resourcing and organisation required to operate an individual complaints system.
