I thank the witnesses for being here and for rescheduling. It is good to see Mr. Blaney again. I know we are both ACESA members, but it is nice to see him in this context. I will start where Senator Ní Chuillin left off on scam texts because, as has been outlined, this area is immensely complex. The scams themselves are getting more and more sophisticated as time goes on. How is it being ensured that genuine texts are getting through, particularly things like hospital appointments and other crucial information for citizens, and that they are not being filtered out by the same mechanisms being used to block scammers?
