Yes, I agree. In spite of our previous interaction, I agree with almost everything the Deputy is saying. It is simply a matter of timing on which we are disagreeing. We need to go further on advertising. The Deputy raised the issue of influencers and actually they are not regulated. It is a gap not just on this issue but more broadly. It is something we can talk to the media commission about because there is an interesting role for Coimisiún na Meán to play. The advice I have is that we have not gotten our heads around this as a legislature. We do not have legislation or regulations in place that comprehensively address it. I agree that it is a gap. I do not think it is a gap, by the way, that we will be able to close in the second Bill. It is quite a complex piece of legislation and regulation. It is something that needs to be looked at more broadly. It is certainly something I can take back to the various line Ministers.
