That is my intention. As I said to Senator Keogan and, indeed, to Deputy Louise O'Reilly, it will be subject to regulation.
We are resourcing Coimisiún na Meán. It is my Department's role to resource the digital services co-ordinator. They are getting substantial resources to do the detailed work that is carried out in this Bill and there will be no need for them to set excessive fees for people accessing it.
I can assure the Senator as long as I occupy the Ministry I will be watching it. It will be set through regulations which will be laid before the House. There will be a further chance, if the Senator feels they are prohibitive, for us to engage around that.
