I have a comment on Tusla. I did my research before I came to the committee. Tusla has not made a statement endorsing the age of consent, but the agency is cited by the Taoiseach as having played a part in the advice and consultation leading to the Government's decision to establish 13 as the official digital age of consent. Tusla is responsible for welfare and protection and I would like to hear comments on that. Because the conversation has been good all afternoon, we did not get to the digital safety commissioner role. The witnesses have recommended it and I assume they would like the committee to continue to lobby hard on it.
