I thank the witnesses. I will move on to the representatives from CyberSafeIreland. I have listened to them a number of times on the radio. I love the work they do and how they present it. As a parent, the information is fantastic. It is like a red light every time because it brings home to roost what one is doing, as a parent, if one gives a mobile phone to a child or lets a child access one's own mobile phone. The message is very strong. I would like to hear a little bit more about the Green Paper in the UK. It was referenced in the presentation. CyberSafeIreland believes if we want to make children safe online, we should be going down this route. What points did the witnesses pick out from this Green Paper as an ideology we should focus on?
