The legislation provides that no film shall be exhibited in public unless the Director of Film Classification has certified that it is suitable and a certificate is displayed to that effect. The leg- islation gives the director power to prohibit a film or to impose conditions or restrictions upon its exhibition� The Deputy will be aware that the Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2008 clarified for the first time that a core function of IFCO was classification of content “likely to cause harm to children”� Where there is pornography contained within the material covered by the above legislation, IFCO takes a firm stand to prevent availability of such material to children by consistent application of its system of age-related classification of cinema films and videos-DVDs� However, within this legislation, there is no statutory function for IFCO relating to broadcast online or mobile material� 26/06/2019A00700Deputy Jim O’Callaghan: I thank the Minister� The Government needs to give consider- ation to expanding the role of IFCO� I have mentioned previously in this House that the current generation of young people are being exposed to pornography, the likes of which has not been seen previously� Young men in particular are learning about sexuality from very violent por- nography online, which presents women in a very malleable and submissive way� As a State, we need to recognise that we have a responsibility to try to protect our children from the influ- ence of online pornography� We protect our children from the dangers of tobacco and alcohol and, similarly, we should do the same in respect of online pornography� In 2017, the United Kingdom introduced the Digital Economy Act 2017, which includes the statutory rule that providers cannot provide pornography

Deputy Pat Rabbitte: Is Deputy Martin interested in corruption in planning now? Deputy Micheál Martin: I will come to that. Why are the Minister, Deputy Phil Hogan, the Minister of State, Deputy Alan Kelly, and the Minister of State, Deputy Kehoe, misleading the public by suggesting that the former Minister, Mr. Gormley, had done nothing to progress his independent reviews of planning practices in a number of local authorities? It is more than one year since he took office.

The major extension of abortion services following the referendum in May and the CervicalCheck scandal, which resulted in the resignation of the director general of the Health Service Executive (HSE), were issues of national significance. Abortion On the evening of Monday, 29 January 2018, following a cabinet meeting where the decision was taken, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, TD, announced that the government would propose a referendum on Ireland’s constitutional abortion ban. In his announcement the Taoiseach made specific reference to the work of the Citizens’ Assembly. He also announced that, on the advice of Attorney General Séamus Woulfe, the proposed amendment would repeal and replace the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution with an enabling provision. Consequently, the government would follow the recom - mendation of the Citizens’ Assembly, rather than the Joint Oireachtas Committee’s recommendation of repeal simpliciter. The government approved the wording of the referendum question on 8 March. The proposed Thirty-Sixth Amendment to the Constitution would repeal the Eighth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, and replace them with the following wording: provision may be made by law for the regulation of termination of pregnancies. 25 04 O’Riordan - Health.qxp_Admin 67-1 15/02/2019 09:29 Page 26 26 JOANNA O’RIORDAN The Referendum Bill was passed by the Dáil on 21 March by ninety-seven votes to twenty-seven, and by the Seanad on 28 March by forty votes to ten.

The papers provide a significant source for the history of the development of the party and its policies through the comprehensive series of press statements issued over many years. In January 1977 during the annual Sinn Féin Árd Fheis members voted for a name change and the party became known as Sinn Féin the Workers’ Party. A concerted effort was made in the late 1970s to increase the profile and political representation of the party. In 1979 Tomás MacGiolla won a seat in Ballyfermot in the local elections in Dublin. Two years later in 1981 the party saw its first success at national level with the election of Joe Sherlock in Cork East as the party’s first TD. In 1982 Sherlock, Paddy Gallagher and Proinsias de Rossa all won seats in the general election. In 1981 the Árd Fheis voted in favour of another name change to the Workers’ Party.
