A working group has been set up in Co Cavan with the aim to educate and make people aware of Coco’s Law.<\/p>\n
Coco’s Law – officially called the Harassment, Harmful Communications and Related Offences Act – was introduced in Ireland in 2020 in response to the tragic death by suicide of 21-year-old Nicole ‘Coco’ Fox in 2018 after a sustained cyberbullying campaign against her.<\/p>\n
In the intervening years the law has helped protect other young people, while Coco’s mother Jackie has campaigned for it to be replicated in other countries.<\/p>\n
Locally a group has been set up with Cllr Niamh Brady the chairperson and the vice chairperson Inspector Lionel Mullally to deliver an awareness campaign across Co Cavan.<\/p>\n
Ronan Gargan has been speaking with the juvenile liaison officer for Co Cavan, Garda Cait Fleming to find out more.<\/p>\n
This report has been funded by the Reporting Scheme.<\/p>\n
