74 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will make a statement on the use of the Internet for terrorist purposes. [4378/99]
There has been concern at international level for some time at the potential for abuse of the Internet by terrorist groups. As part of EU-wide police co-operation measures, the level of such abuse is monitored on an ongoing basis. I should also say in this regard that work is ongoing in other international fora such as the OECD with a view to combating illegal and harmful use of the Internet and, of course, full account would be taken of any relevant developments in these fora.
