- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: If Deputy Lisa Chambers wants to interject on this point, that is fine.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: I welcome the delegates. We are very grateful to have them here. There are many things I could ask, but I have to try to hone in on a number of them that I want to put to them. I am conscious that this is the Joint Committee on Children and Youth Affairs and that the digital age of consent was actually dealt with by the justice committee. That puts us in a difficult position. I...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: What about Internet filtering whereby the default position would be, when a server is placed in a house, it would be precluded from accessing all sites that could potentially be harmful to children? One could opt in if one wished. Would that be helpful for parents who are not very au fait with the Internet or do not have the time to spend looking up how to actually stop their children from...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: In Germany there is IP filtering through a product Cisco has provided for free for schools. It is also provided for homes. It is something that would be very easy to do in Ireland because telecoms companies could do it. It would not solve the problem entirely because children would get around it. They would not always be at home using the Internet which is pervasive and everywhere. They...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: That is my point. We need to turn it on its head and take away the fact that parents do not know how to do it. They will have to find out how to opt in. The default position could be that they have opted out. It would not solve all of the problems, but it would be very helpful.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: The bottom line is that for legislators it is hard to know what way to go on this. We want to help parents and we have a duty to protect children. We do not want to have too much of a nanny state approach. There is a fine line for us to navigate. We are relying on experts like the witnesses and those who appeared before the justice committee to tell us where to go with this. As this is...

Catherine Noone: There is the deep or dark net as well.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: It is not like years ago when people said children who watch too much television will have problems. There were debates about that years ago. This is a minefield and it is not comparable in that sense. We are not being overly cautious or ultra-conservative to be concerned about this.

Catherine Noone: They are not reaching developmental goals.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: Yes. I cannot get my head around that at all.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: To clarify, does that come within the remit of social media companies?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Cybersecurity for Children and Young Adults: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: That is a ban.

Catherine Noone: Donal O'Shea said the one thing he would do about childhood obesity was impose a sugar tax. We have done that and are hopeful it will have an impact. Obviously, it is something that has to be tackled from a lot of different angles. As Donal O'Shea's equivalents in this area, what do the witnesses say are the three things we have to do in the short and medium terms?
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Infectious Disease Screening Service (14 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: I thank the Minister of State for coming to the House to take this debate. I would like the Minister for Health to oversee the introduction of the loop medicated isothermal amplification, LAMP, test in hospitals. The test can provide results detecting the presence of meningitis within an hour, dramatically reducing the time taken to produce a result under the current system. This would...
- Seanad: Commencement Matters: Infectious Disease Screening Service (14 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: Yes. I was brief enough in my initial remarks in any event. I welcome the move towards testing for a greater number of organisms at the same time and towards a quicker turnaround, which obviously is of double benefit. I have to take as read what the Minister of State tells me about the test to which I am referring being more restricted in what it tests for. I hear where he is coming from...
- Seanad: Order of Business (14 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: The Senator would qualify.
- Seanad: Order of Business (14 Feb 2018)
Catherine Noone: I support Senator Swanick's comments about Dr. Selim. He is a Trinity College lecturer in Arabic and a spokesperson for the Clonskeagh mosque. I do not know how he is qualified to speak about medical issues, but his comments were absolutely disgraceful. RTÉ takes its role to provide balance a little too far in allowing someone like Dr. Selim speak about what is essentially the...
