Ms Sinéad McSweeney:

Regarding Deputy Harrington's question on the gap in the law, I listened to the Minister yesterday and to the majority of the debate. The Minister stated there appears to be a gap in the law. As I said, he, his officials and the Office of the Attorney General are in the best position to make a judgment in that regard. My company is clear on its rules and what it requires of its users. It is clear on the procedures it has in place and on how it should try to educate and raise awareness among its users. We require users to observe the laws of their countries, wherever they are, because laws and standards vary from country to country.

With regard to the Irish legislation, we will await a response from the Minister and the Attorney General on whether the gap the Minister feels exists actually does exist.
