I go back to the role of an coimisiún. It is an independent regulatory body to enforce new and updated regulatory frameworks for content regulation. There would not be a role there to put in a code on workers' rights. We are tackling it through the codes that will be there relating to prohibiting damaging content being available. That is what this is about.

Moving responsibility for workers' rights into this is not what this commission is set up to do. It is there to end the era of self-regulation. We are tackling online harmful content through this. I could not envisage a code there on workers' rights. That is for a different Department.
