It is good to hear that the Minister listens to "Morning Ireland". These are important issues and there is a degree of urgency attached to them in the social media space in the light of the upcoming referendum. I welcome the establishment of the interdepartmental group, about which I heard for the first time yesterday on the floor of the Dáil. It is better late than never and I hope it will do some good. In the meantime, it is my understanding there is one line in the legislation that causes difficulty for the Government. If the Minister was willing, he could work with me on redrafting it before Committee Stage. I would welcome engagement with him in that regard.
