I thank Deputy Murnane O'Connor. As I said, it is working on the draft codes, which will go to consultation with stakeholders shortly. We intend the first code to be adopted in the first quarter of next year. All of our debates on this legislation were child focused. The real focus was on protecting our children first. The codes will include requirements to adopt measures in respect of age verification, content rating and parental controls. We really are making sure the online world becomes safer for our children.
