Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I spoke on this earlier in response to Deputy Lowry. I offer my condolences to the family of Luke Hyde. What happened in the aftermath of this was shocking. That there were people who were more interested in recording the incident than helping is absolutely shocking. I mentioned earlier that the view of the Department of Justice is that this may be captured by an existing provision. I will ask the Minister for Justice to respond to the Deputy’s points. I know how upset the family is and indeed anyone else recorded in a similar incident. I would raise the role of Coimisiún na Meán in the context of the oversight of particular social media companies too. I will ask both Ministers to respond to the Deputy’s concerns.
