Ms Karen White should note that I appreciated very much Deputy Chambers' reference to the Ryan–Mathis case. Only for "The Late Late Show" last Friday, we would not really have known about the gravity of what had taken place in regard to the couple's experience. I commend Ryan Tubridy and "The Late Late Show" on having brought it to public attention. I really believe this is an important part of the exercise in moving towards better, safer and respectful utilisation of these important platforms. What has Twitter has done regarding the references to the couple, who were carrying out a job of work as parents in creating an income stream?
