Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael)

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. The terrible behaviour he has referred to is inappropriate, given that somebody could be suffering, distressed or vulnerable. It is equally repugnant to those who love that person and who might find out about it on their phones in an unprompted and unplanned way with no support. For those two reasons, and there are many others, the behaviour the Deputy has referred to is terrible. I compliment and acknowledge Deputy Duncan Smith. My understanding is - I am sure he will correct me if I am wrong - that he has introduced some legislation in this area.
