Ms Maria Walsh:

That is not a problem and I thank the committee very much.

Regarding Deputy Calleary's point on whether we are pushing a boulder up a hill, I believe we are in many ways but now we are at this point where we have an opportunity to engage and start changing the direction and, picking up from another colleague's point, putting beef and teeth into what we want the future or Europe to look like. It cannot just happen with MEPs and it cannot just happen in the European Parliament; it must happen through engagement with the committee.

Regarding Senator Doherty's comments, I am passionate in looking forward to what Commissioner Vestager starts bringing forward. Within the LIBE committee, we are working on files that will feed into the work she is doing. One does not need to watch "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix to understand equality and disinformation is completely transforming the way we communicate online. She is at the coalface in this regard and happy to engage on anything the committee sees coming down the pipeline in terms of information sharing or chatting about ideas. I will leave it at that. I thank the committee very much and look forward to more of these discussions.
