Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:

I will wear my robes next time. To clarify what I said, I absolutely agree that people's social media feeds are increasingly influential. The Reuters news reports we have show they are the primary source of news for some people, particularly the younger cohort. I understand An Coimisiún Toghcháin's research into how people make up their mind on how to vote also shows there are cohorts who are much more influenced by social media than by traditional media. The point I was making is that as the law stands, we have quite a lot of regulation of traditional broadcast media but we do not have anything corresponding for social media. We think the time has come to consider how best to apply what are called internal plurality obligations to social media feeds.
