Ms Niamh Sweeney:

Yes, and just above that the phrase "with CPL" is used. There is no question of CPL being frozen out. We are not throwing it under the bus. I accept full responsibility for everything of which Facebook should have been aware. As we have mentioned, there will be far greater oversight, including through the secondment of full-time Facebook policy experts to the CPL site for a minimum of six months to oversee everything that is happening at training level.

To answer Deputy Dooley, the training presentations were created by Facebook and modified incorrectly by CPL staff. Modifying those materials will no longer be possible. If there were mistakes in those presentations, we should have been aware of them. Even if someone at CPL incorrectly made the adjustments to the presentations, we should have known and our own audits should have picked up on them. I am not suggesting for one minute that we can outsource responsibility in that regard.

I am not sure what Deputy Stanley means by harvesting the data of people under or over 13 years of age. One must be at least 13 years of age to have a Facebook account. If we become aware of someone under that age having one, he or she will lose access to it.
