Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I have no plans at present to amend legislation on the production, display, sale and distribution of pornographic material. However, I can inform the Deputy that my Department is currently reviewing certain aspects of the Censorship of Films Act 1923 and the Video Recordings Act 1989.
