Mr. Art O'Leary:

In the white hot heat of a general election campaign, this is the idea of an instant response. We have met all the social media companies and we have a good working relationship. We have safe channels into them in case we need to get access to them in a hurry. I am encouraged by the level of responsibility they have shown with regard to how they will deal with that. They are very conscious that their platforms are a place where quite serious damage can be done to democracy. I have been pleased by the attitude and respect they have shown to An Coimisiún Toghcháin and to the process as part of that conversation.

On Cambridge Analytica, the information, the data and all of that detail, Part 4 of the Act, as the Deputy knows, is about online political advertising. This is all about transparency in political advertising. When somebody places an advertisement on a platform, the Act deals with who is paying for the advertisement.
