Professor O'Mahony may want to come in on this. At present, the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland has specific codes around advertising and children, and dealing with issues like junk food and other areas. I am looking for clarity on what we should have in the legislation around those areas of advertising but, obviously, in regard to specific platforms. I am frightened by the idea of Instagram for kids. What can we do, as legislators, to address that?
