545. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Health the way in which his Department will engage with the development of the action plan on Internet safety, particularly on the issue of advertising and marketing to children in the context of the voluntary codes of practice recently launched by his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12364/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraSection 10 of the Codes of Practice concerned provide that the Codes will be monitored for compliance and effectiveness by a monitoring body designated by the Minister for Health; and that it will be free to decide on its operational methods. The engagement referred to by the Deputy will be considered as the monitoring body evolves, in the context of any overlap that may arise in its work with internet safety.
