Protecting Privacy and Dignity at Traffic Collision Sites
That this Assembly expresses concern at the increasing trend of individuals and media outlets capturing and distributing distressing footage at the scenes of fatal or critical road traffic collisions; recognises the trauma this causes to the families affected by these activities; supports the campaign for Caoimhe’s Law, which would make it a criminal offence to record or share images and videos of victims at the scene of a fatal or critical traffic collision without lawful authority or family consent; and calls on the Minister of Justice to work with the Minister for Infrastructure to pass legislation to this affect by the end of this mandate.
