I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, back to the committee this morning. Members will be put- ting some suggestions and perhaps some questions that have arisen from witnesses who have attended so far. We have had a number of sessions on this Bill, which is hugely important and covers much ground and area. We have had witnesses with expertise in data management, data protection and online advertising. The Data Protection Commission, a number of social media organisations and officials from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage appeared before the committee. We also had the Irish Traveller Movement, ITM, the National Women’s Council of Ireland, NWC, and the National Youth Council of Ireland, NYCI, which was a really interesting and engaging session. I know the Minister of State probably has some observations on that.
