Seán Sherlock (Cork East, Labour)

In regard to signing the statutory instrument, I have addressed the issues raised by the Technical Group. I have already stated that it is our intention to proceed with the statutory instrument. The State has been exposed on this issue, which has been ongoing since November 2010, and what we are doing is a proportionate response. We will not infringe on anybody's right to conduct a business or to free expression through the Internet.
