I propose to take Questions Nos. 2022 to 2025, inclusive, together.
The Council of Europe document to which the Deputy refers contains five overarching recommendations which are then further informed by detailed guidelines. The recommendations, and particularly the guidelines, offer advice to Member States and stakeholders on a wide range of online safety policy issues.
The Action Plan on Online Safety, which was launched by the Taoiseach on 11 July, recognises that online safety is not the responsibility of any one Department, but that many Departments have a role to play. If a Department has responsibility for a policy issue, this includes online responsibility for that issue. The Action Plan sets out 25 Actions and the Departments responsible for their delivery. A sponsors group will be shortly established to drive implementation of the Action Plan, which will be chaired by the Department of Education & Skills and comprise five other key Government Departments; Children and Youth Affairs, Justice and Equality; Communications, Climate Action and Environment; Business, Enterprise and Innovation; and Health.
It will be a matter for each Department to consider these recommendations in the context of the implementation of the Action Plan and their wider policy remits.
