Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Bill 2017: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-17
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

A single image can be treated as a serious and an indictable offence. There is no strict definition to the effect that one image can only be treated as a summary offence. It will be a matter for the judge on the day to take that into consideration.
