Joint Committee on Justice and Equality to complete discussions on online harassment and harmful communications

Members will hear submissions from SpunOut.ie, Irish Council for Civil Liberties (ICCL), National Anti-Bullying Research & Resource Centre and the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.

Ahead of the meeting, Committee Chairman Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin TD said: “This is the last in our series of engagements on online harassment and harmful communications. Members are interested in hearing the submissions from these bodies about their work to tackle online bullying and abuse and any recommendations they have in terms of legislation and regulation. We will then consider all the evidence we have heard before compiling our report.”
