The Minister for education, Deputy Naughton, has said that the use of Grok to create sexualised images of women and child sex abuse material is "very concerning". She went on to say that we need to make sure that we tackle it and keep our young people safe. I wholeheartedly agree with her and I am sure the Tánaiste does too. Can the Tánaiste explain why the Department of Education and Youth is still posting images of children on X? Given what we know about what is happening on that platform, how can we possibly justify using it? Ironically, the Department is in the process of reviewing social media use guidance for schools in the wake of this scandal. Digital Rights Ireland has now written to the Department of Education and Youth querying why it continues to post pictures of children on X and says that posting images of individuals to the platform constitutes a "high risk" to those individuals and especially to children. I have stopped using X myself and I would prefer all State bodies and Government Departments to stop using it. Could the Tánaiste at least give a guarantee that Government Departments and Ministers will stop posting pictures of children and young people to that platform?

It is a very fair point that the Deputy makes and I will certainly speak with the Minister in relation to it. We are all trying to grapple with this in real time. I very much respect, genuinely, Members of this House, public bodies and others that have decided to leave the platform. I can understand why they have done that. Equally and currently in this space, I have decided for the moment to stay on it because it is a pitch I did not want to leave to the malign influences. It is important that we continue to put forward our points but it is a balance call. It is a tough one. The Deputy's specific point in relation to child safety and the posting of children's images on X is a serious one that deserves a response. While there have been changes to the use of that app in Ireland, the broader point she makes is valid. I will ask the Minister, Deputy Naughton, to revert to the Deputy on it.
