I understand the Deputy is interested in the protection of young people from the inappropriate use of multimedia activities particularly internet and video games. I have no function in relation to malevolent internet activities or video games — these areas come under the remit of my colleague the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. Obviously the role of parents in these matters cannot be emphasised enough, and their supervisory role is key.
