Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2017
1763. Deputy Anne Rabbitte asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment further to Parliamentary Question No. 105 of 31 May 2017, the status and work programme of the interdepartmental implementation group; the number of times it has met since being set up; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27261/17]
View answerThe interdepartmental implementation group established following the publication of the Internet Content Governance Advisory Group's Report met four times, most recently on 1 June 2016.
Out of 30 recommendations made in the report, 14 relate to the transfer and further development of functions currently in the Department of Justice & Equality to the Department of Children & Youth Affairs; 7 recommendations have been implemented as a result of general policy improvements; and a further 7 will be considered once the revised Audiovisual Media Services Directive has been adopted.
It is my intention to report to Government by the end of the year regarding the implementation of each of the recommendations contained in the ICGAG report.
