Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I support Senator Noone's message regarding the need for a different approach and setting up a Department. The initiative is interesting for a number of reasons. First, there is the issue of digital safety or Internet usage. The Acting Chairman will tell me that I cannot name people but I refer to the way in which Facebook, Twitter or whoever interacts with either the US Congress or with us here in Ireland. Deputy Hildegarde Naughton is the Chair of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment. She along with other committee members met Mark Zuckerberg but they had to do across the road; they did not meet in Leinster House. I am sure the keyboard warriors are ready to start typing.
