The Government is very much aware of the serious situation regarding young people and what they can access online. There is a cross-government approach to addressing this very serious situation. Work is being led by the new domestic, sexual and gender-based violence agency, which is also working with the Department of Education and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. It will build on successes of previous awareness raising campaigns as well. We cannot be naive either. Simply introducing a ban will stop access to the legal sites, but anybody who uses the Internet knows very well how to work around it.
