Mr. Peter McCarthy:

I can give a quick summary of that. The call-out is about Part 4 and the regulative online services. The clarification we sought was about Internet service providers.

We do not host material on the Internet. As I think I mentioned in my submission, we provide the pipe that provides the end-to-end. We do not want to go in that door because then we are into the whole area as to what has been prevented since the start of the Internet, which is of checking and watching what is going on with users. There is the Data Protection Act, and the universal service obligation, but there are also other elements. What I am trying to say is that we do not host the content. In summary, as I said on the motorway piece, we build the road but if there is a problem with the user on that road one does not ring the guys who built the road, but contacts An Garda or the emergency services with these problems. Similarly, we can describe ourselves as being somewhat similar to An Post, as it does not check the letters that are posted.
