‘Upskirting’ to be banned under new harassment laws


A new Bill banning so-called “revenge pornography” and “upskirting” is set to be agreed by Cabinet on Wednesday. Government Ministers are holding a meeting in Cork city on Wednesday where they will discuss the new law, which deals with harassment and harmful communications. There is currently no legislation to address revenge porn in Ireland. Revenge porn is the common name for sharing photos or videos of a sexual nature of another person without their consent. The Law Reform Commission published a report in 2016 which identified gaps in the legislation, including in relation to revenge porn.
