Okay. I am still not convinced. The Minister referenced the UK courts, as did I, but this has particular relevance to Ireland. A lot of these tech companies and social media companies are based here so it could potentially create a hostile environment. I am referring to future technologies that do not exist yet. If we have directors of these companies here, I would like to believe we could have Irish directors on their boards. What is to stop them just relocating elsewhere? I still believe intent has to be at the source of any law we create. If somebody is made aware of wrongdoing, they have to respond. The idea of "any" is an incredibly high standard for the types of technologies we are referring to. I will press ahead with this amendment on Report Stage.
