The Joint Committee on Justice and Equality does not charge for advertising unlike our guests.
I thank Deputy Eamon Ryan, Senator Alice-Mary Higgins and Deputy Martin Kenny for being here at the end. I thank each company for their opening statements and participation. I shall seize on the word "collaboration" and say that I hope that this will not be the last time that we will engage or that the companies will engage, more importantly, with the representatives of these Houses and Government. We have already outlined the objectives of this committee, in setting out on this course of hearings, to the companies.
I believe this is a journey on which we can travel together. That is the most important message that we can deliver publicly. I thank Mr. Dualta Ó Broin and Ms Claire Rush from Facebook Ireland; Ms Karen White and Mr. Ronan Costello, Twitter Ireland; Mr. Ryan Meade, Google Ireland; and Ms Ana Niculescu, the Internet Service Providers Association. We will invite them to the launch of our report sometime between now and Christmas.
