Jim O'Callaghan: I thank all the Members who contributed to the debate. It has been very beneficial. I note what the Minister of State said and some of his suggestions.

If she wants to invoke the law, she has to go to a court where she will have to reveal her identity. She will have to describe the events that took place so there will probably be a report about in the newspaper, which would put her off. Does Ms Counihan agree?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Online Harassment and Harmful Communications: Discussion (2 Oct 2019)

Jim O'Callaghan: If those photographs were published in a national newspaper, then the newspaper would be liable for breaching her privacy.

A newspaper is obviously a publisher but technology companies claim that they are not publishers but are servicing their communities. There are online communities and the companies are...
