Event: Launch of ‘Report on Addressing the growth of Social Media and tackling Cyberbullying’
Location: A/V Room, Leinster House
Date: Thursday 18 July 2013
Time: 11:30 am
Committee Vice-Chairman John O’Mahony TD and other Members will be in attendance and available for questions.
Deputy O’Mahony says: “Over the course of four meetings earlier this year, the Committee sought to establish how the irresponsible use of social media channels might be curbed. It also invited members of the public and interested groups across the country to have their say and feed into the process through written and online contributions. The Committee undertook these consultations with open minds and with an overall objective of seeking to protect individuals and safeguard the potential of social media from those who seek to subvert it. Informed by these public hearings and by the many submissions received from the public, we have prepared this report with practical recommendations to be considered by Government.”
Copies will be available at the launch and the report will be published online following the event.
