Go raibh maith agat. Mr. O'Leary is very welcome back and I am sure he has many stories that are probably far more interesting. We will wait until we go into private session.

That is a different kettle of fish, however. It is vital that we have the infrastructure to be able to deal with the world we are now in, of cyberthreats, hybrid threats and Cambridge Analytica, to which Deputy Howlin referred, and that type of data analysis and data mining and then advertising. In fairness, I would have asked the same question as the Deputy regarding engagement with Coimisiún na Meán. In some elements, this is an impossible job. Mr. O'Leary has dealt with some of that. Beyond that, it is about the engagement with big tech. Mr. O'Leary indicated that has been relatively positive. Which companies has An Coimisiún Toghcháin spoken to and dealt with? Are there particular companies with which it has not engaged? Have some companies been less forthcoming than others? I get the difference between misinformation and disinformation. We have entered a world where anyone can post whatever has entered their head at 12 o'clock at night after a couple of bottles of beer, possibly a couple of bottles of wine.
