I thank Mr. Feeney for that comment. He covered RTÉ's position, but in the Dáil there are 23 Independents across the board at present. It is a fairly big Opposition when you consider the Rural Independent Group, the Regional Group Independents and the Independent Group. That is 23 elected representatives. We might look at that.

One thing I took from Mr. Feeney's response - he mentioned The Irish Timesand so on - is that you can be anonymous once you register yourself with a social media platform. I do not have a problem with people being anonymous but, if they register themselves, their identity should be known if they do something wrong.
