I echo Senator Cassells's comments. Amendments Nos. 30 and 35 will do a significant amount to address the concerns we raised on Committee Stage. While the lead Departments are obviously involved, it will be important for this media commission to address those key issues, including children's safety, which is why we wanted consultation with the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. Senator Cassells mentioned gambling specifically. This will strengthen the legislation. We are grateful to the Minister and her officials for including this.
