I find it very interesting that both Ms McGlone and Ms McNamee have mentioned the impact of social media. I guess that social media was not a huge thing a couple of years ago and is more recent. I have had this conversation with people I know in Sinn Féin and people in Sinn Féin I am friendly with. I asked what their views on this would be if I was a unionist in Northern Ireland and I was looking at some of the anti-unionist rhetoric that I see coming from republicans. Do the witnesses believe that this would isolate them or would make them pull back their horns a little bit so that they do not want to get involved with any further engagement?
