It just seems bizarre. We are in here and have a certain legal privilege because we are in the Houses of the Oireachtas. It would seem the Internet almost has a similar legal privilege in that people seem to be almost able to do whatever they like and nobody can touch them. That seems to be the case, and the companies responsible for putting up and hosting this material are not prepared to take legal action.
