IAB Chairwoman's Preface

Audrey ConlonThe proliferation of images of child sex abuse on the Internet is a global problem and a major challenge for all of us involved in the fight to protect our children in the rapidly changing world of on-line technologies. As paedophiles develop ever more complex and sophisticated methods of disseminating their illegal material, we must be ever more resourceful and determined.

In my capacity as Chairwoman of the Government appointed Internet Advisory Board, I continue to be impressed with the detailed reports and analysis presented to the IAB by Paul Durrant General Manager of the www.hotline.ie. Paul and his staff are to be congratulated on the significant contribution they are making to keeping the Internet a safer place for all our citizens, particularly our children.

On behalf of the members of the Internet Advisory Board I would like to take this opportunity to wish the www.hotline.ie continuing success and I look forward to working with all concerned well into the future.
