I return to the Tánaiste's conversation with Deputy Pearse Doherty about online safety. On 1 May 2017, Deputy Naughten, the then Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, was quoted as stating:

The legislation is complex and slow. It's not going to happen overnight but we have a number of options. We're in talks with the industry to see if we can fast-track elements of it.

We are now in June 2019 but we are no further. We want to work collectively with the Government on the issue and to get it right. I ask and challenge the Tánaiste to lay down a timeline for when it will be done. The House should not break for the recess without some sort of timeline laid down to show that the work that needs to be done will be done on this occasion, and that we will not just move on and forget it. That quotation from 2017 is very similar to what the Tánaiste delivered to Deputy Pearse Doherty in June 2019.

Deputy Naughten made a significant contribution in the area when he was in government. In 2017, he put in place an action plan for online safety which focused on education and enforcement, and 25 short-to-medium-term actions-----

Why did they not keep him?

-----which are all being put in place. The truth is we now know it is not enough. That is why the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Bruton, is very focused on this area and has already set up a consultation process to hear from NGOs and experts, and he wants to hear from other political parties.

Lay down a timeline.

We will progress this legislation as a priority as soon as we can but we need to get it right. I suggest the Minister, Deputy Bruton, is probably the appropriate Minister to give the Deputy the timeline in regard to how this is possible. I do not think it is possible to put comprehensive legislation on online safety in place before the summer recess. However, it is possible to do that later on in the year.
