Departmental Strategies
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-15
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

In terms of online safety, very significant progress has been made. The Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, as Deputy Ó Laoghaire will be aware, recently brought a memorandum to Government on that issue, in terms of establishing a commission - an online safety regulator. That was approved by Cabinet. There is a range of work that still has to be undertaken. It is a mammoth task because it is also linked in with the Future of Media Commission.
In terms of online safety, on that issue around the individual complaints mechanism, we want a system that works. Ideas are plentiful but we have got to make sure there is operational capacity to deliver on-----
