I thank the Minister of State for that clarification. He can see where I was coming from and that the intention of the amendment was more of a belt, braces and baler twine kind of proposal. I am satisfied that on the basis of the confirmation given to me by the Minister of State that the matters are already covered within the legislation and I thank them for the clarification. With the leave of the Chairman, I am happy to withdraw amendments Nos. 1, 2, 8 and 9, on the basis that we have had this discussion and that the Minister of State has clarified that social media platforms are already covered. That was my concern and I was not intending to do anything other than take, as I said, a belt, braces and baler twine approach. I thank the Chairman and with his permission I will withdraw those amendments.
