I thank our guests for coming in. I echo what my colleagues have said about how useful and interesting this exchange is for us, and on many levels how reassuring. I congratulate the witnesses on child safety online getting an "A" on the Children's Rights Alliance scorecard, as reported on "Morning Ireland" this morning. It is good to hear good news. The State's face has been saved with that high score. I thank the witnesses for that.

Aside from their role, has anyone taken a case against any of the tech giants that are located here? Have any Irish citizens taken any cases here? Has there been litigation for damage or vicarious damage to children or vulnerable adults? By extension, what is the position in respect of persons harmed in another jurisdiction? Senator Seery Kearney is probably rolling her eyes listening to a lay person asking these questions.
