I thank the witnesses. We have discussed a combination of very interesting but also very scary stuff, particularly as most of us are parents or have nieces and nephews and are very mindful of that. As was said, we are looking at this from the point of view of children. We are not looking at the overall picture. We do not have responsibility for the overall legislation but our aim is to have our report feed into the legislation to protect children. Coimisiún na Meán will appear before us next Tuesday to discuss this topic. Some really good points came out of today's discussion. I hope we can raise them with Coimisiún na Meán. Is it agreed to publish the opening statements on the website? Agreed.
