I share the Senator's concerns about algorithmic safety. The European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency deals with this issue. This organisation will be able to work and use research from the risk assessments and audits carried out through the Digital Services Act. However, I will also bring the Senator's proposal to the attention of both the digital services commissioner, John Evans, and the online safety commissioner, Niamh Hodnett, under Coimisiún na Meán . I will ask them to engage with the Senator on that proposal. I think there is merit to doing something on it. It is a bit overly prescriptive to put something that detailed into legislation, but I certainly believe and share the Senator's view that it needs to be highlighted. I will make that proposal to Coimisiún na Meán.
