In terms of the importance of this next legislative session, I am sure the Minister has prioritised it as part of the Government's work.

It was interesting to listen to what Ms Greene said about digital service co-ordinators in Ireland and how they will be established and funded through the European Commission. Is that correct? Will she give us some more information around their establishment and also how they will work with sectoral regulators in Ireland? In addition, will she give examples on how we currently regulate service providers, how this directive will allow services that are established in Ireland to be overseen by Irish regulators for the whole EU, and what type of infringement proceedings we can pre-empt once this directive is enacted?
