Fourth Report of the Special Rapporteur on Child Protection: Statements

 

I am sure Senators are interested in the report published in the United Kingdom yesterday, concerning the exploitation of children through the commercialisation of various products directed at children. Parents have expressed concerns about this in the United Kingdom and I am sure the same applies in Ireland. It is an interesting area. I had a quick look at the report that came out yesterday. It recommends voluntary agreement between the retailers, various groups and the Government rather than statutory intervention. This should be reviewed. It is an interesting area and will be the subject of further focus in the coming weeks.
