I agree. That is why I think it is about the examination and whatever findings come out from that. It is also about what Coimisiún na Meán is doing, and we have strengthened its remit through the Online Safety and Media Regulation Act. As I said, Coimisiún na Meán has indicated in the work programme it published last week that it will be consulting on the making of media service codes this quarter with a view to bringing them in before the end of the year. Section 7(4)(c) of the Broadcasting Act provides that Coimisiún na Meán will have regard to climate change and environmental sustainability in the performance of its functions, and it will be no surprise to the Deputy that this is something I will be seeking as well. I will ask my officials to engage further with Coimisiún na Meán with regard to the making of the new media service codes and rules, including in regard to advertising, sponsorship, product placement rules and climate change.
