I agree with Mr. Gubbins. There is no doubt about that. We all have parental responsibility. We are meeting the companies in the next two weeks. This meeting is to assist us in establishing the problems, their extent and how we strike a balance when writing up our report. Statistics are vital in that regard.

Moving away from statistics for a moment, I have questions for Ms Counihan on another topic, the name of which I hate, that is, revenge porn. The Rape Crisis Network Ireland, the National Women's Council of Ireland and the submission from the solicitors have all raised it. There is a different expression that I think captures it much better. Will Ms Counihan elaborate on that?
