On that point, and I know we are short on time, as the subject evolves, we do not allow advertising on broadcast media, and it would appear to be even more complex in this space. I ask the Minister of State to look at the deliberations as we go through them and perhaps to consider a ban on online advertising during election periods until we have a wider scale approach. It is a suggestion but if we were to put online advertising in parallel with broadcasting, we would prohibit it until we have the safety measures in place.
