Does anyone else want to comment on Dr. Culloty's observations? It seems members are happy that they have got to ask all the questions they wanted to ask.

I will take this opportunity to thank Dr. Culloty, Dr. McAuley, Professor O'Mahony and Dr. Milosevic for their presentations. They were comprehensive and interesting. The witnesses have given us a new body of work to do in terms of the Bill. There is nothing the witnesses have suggested today that any of the members would be in disagreement with. My thanks to the witnesses for their input. It has been impressive and helpful. We will continue our work with the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill tomorrow with representatives from the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, the Children's Rights Alliance and CyberSafeKids.
