That is great to hear.

One of the major issues that arises is anonymity and related prosecutions. We have seen an enormous rise in the number of anonymous accounts used to attack individuals. There are also concerns around individual complaints mechanisms and subsequent prosecutions that would be processed by An Garda Síochána. I ask Ms Hodnett to outline how Coimisiún na Meán intends to use its full suite of powers and strategies to deal with anonymity. What powers will be utilised to address those who post harmful content and engage in harmful behaviour?
