Patrick O’Donovan has written to the Oireachtas Communications Committee asking them to investigate the matter which he says has led to an ‘online supermarket’ for illegal activity. The Limerick TD has also said that he will also raise the issue in the Dáil with both the Ministers for Justice and Communication ‘with a view to seek assurances that an EU-wide response is developed to respond to the operation of open-source internet browsers which protect anonymity in order to facilitate illegal online activity’.”
