Longford Senator Micheal Carrigy has spoken on how a new law banning online harassment will help safeguard families similar to his own from falling foul to potential abusers, writes Liam Cosgrove.
The Ballinalee postmaster said new legislation aimed at criminalising the distribution of intimate images without consent will ensure offenders are brought to justice.
Speaking in the Seanad, Senator Carrigy said the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Bill was something which was particularly close to his own heart.
