I was just reflecting; if it was 20 years ago, we would not be having this conversation. It is amazing how time has moved on and a whole industry has come about. I wish the gentlemen before us the best of luck with their duties. It is very significant to be appointed to the Digital Services Coordinator. The witness spoke about resourcing. Dr. Evans said there are 100 staff and I think Coimisiún na Meán is hoping to get to a headcount of 160. In previous committees, one of the first things raised was going to be Coimisiún na Meán's ability to meet all of its remit, which is very wide, across a number of different areas. On the work Coimisiún na Meán will do, what will a sanction be? My colleague spoke about platforms found to have been in breach of the Digital Services Act. Where do the sanctions start in that case and how quickly do they come into play? How can people see companies being sanctioned?
