We have to remember what I said at the very beginning. It will remain the role of An Garda Síochána to investigate allegations of criminal behaviour by an individual. The role of the coimisiún will be to oversee the regulatory framework. In the context of criminal proceedings, it would be a matter of being beyond reasonable doubt. Taking online content down will be ascertained on the balance of probability. There are two different things. It will remain the role of the Garda to investigate allegations of criminal behaviour. This is about the online content.
