Luke’s Law: Mum of Cork drowning victim campaigns to ban recording of tragic ac…
The family of a young man who drowned in the River Lee earlier in the month is campaigning for the recording of tragic accidents to be made illegal.
A tragic drowning in Ireland has prompted a campaign for 'Luke's Law'. Kelly Ann, a friend of the victim, shared her heartbreaking experience on RTÉ's Upfront program. She described how bystanders focused on recording the event instead of helping. "Not one person offered their help," she said, emphasizing the need for the new law. 'Luke's Law' aims to make filming and sharing such content a criminal offense, mirroring similar legislation in Germany and other EU countries. This tragic event underscores the importance of bystander intervention and responsible social media use.
