This section deals with a person who "causes, incites or compels...a child to participate in a pornographic performance". Again, this may be some kind of European thing. I am keen to ask the Minister of State because I do not know anything about it and I believe the House would welcome the information. Is there any evidence of child pornographic material being produced in Ireland? I am not aware of it. It may happen. I am not a consumer of these products, but I am curious and interested to know whether we are dealing with a real situation. Is child pornography being produced here?
