I see how it is becoming more difficult for gardaí to do their job in the context of social media. The Oireachtas Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport and Media, which I chair, has been considering the online safety and media regulation Bill, and I hope the setting up of the media commission will address some of those concerns. It does make it very problematic. If gardaí do not know they are under investigation, at what point are they made aware of it? They must be made aware of it at some point. Is it at the outcome?
