Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence
Seanad Éireann — 2025-03-25
============================================================

Michael Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

As I outlined throughout my remarks, there have been a lot of developments in recent years with regard to online safety in a general sense, the prevention of gender-based violence and recommender algorithms. Further steps in online safety will come in July, with the application of Part B of the online safety code. There is also an upcoming evaluation of the EU's audiovisual media services directive, to which Ireland is contributing. This will further strengthen the area of online safety. Our efforts to achieve online safety will continue to be driven by working together with our colleagues across Departments, Coimisiún na Meán and colleagues at EU level.
