Catherine Connolly: I wish to focus on the moderators for a few minutes. I do not know what they are called now but I refer to the people who have to look at the terrible images to which we referred.

Catherine Connolly: I know Facebook is a for-profit company but Mr. Ó Broin's answer is difficult for me. One of the most important ingredients of this is the person who had to watch these things and make decisions. Facebook, however, is outsourcing the function and paying people less. Mr. Ó Broin is doing all sorts of things with lovely language.

Catherine Connolly: I have a close relationship with my husband but that does not mean I know everything. I sit on another committee and organisations which come before us have an obligation to give us information, just as we have an obligation to put them under pressure.

Catherine Connolly: No, what I am asking, and I will ask Google the same question before the Chair stops me, is for the breakdown in Ireland. What are the terms and conditions?

What reporting mechanism is available to these...
