That was raised in our discussions going back 18 months ago. There is a responsibility there and the social media companies should be funding an education programme for kids across all schools. It should not be an ad hocsituation whereby it is only when a school applies to DCU or UCD in Dublin that they can do an online safety course. It should be mandatory across all schools and these should be paid for by the social media platforms because the children are getting on to their platforms and getting this disinformation.
What is the timeline for going forward with the consultation and the possible implementing of the measures?
