Three Members had a good meeting yesterday with Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook. One of the issues we were talking about was political advertising. I am keen to hear the timeline of the Government for the introduction of legislation to regulate and fight for transparency in political advertising here. Before the legislation is introduced, will the Taoiseach ask each Member of the Dáil, including each Minister, to commit to being fully transparent about what he or she, and each party, has spent on the online social media networks over the past year or two so we will live up to what we promise, not only in word but also in deed? Will the Taoiseach commit to transparency on expenditure on social media networks here? When does he expect legislation to be introduced?
