I too welcome the ambassador before the committee. I have two questions, one of which Deputy Dooley touched on. In a speech in Romania, the Prime Minister, Mr. Orbán, explained that he wanted Hungary to become an illiberal state and he spoke admiringly of the political systems in Russia, China and Turkey. He said that Hungary would remain a democracy and not reject liberal principles such as freedom of speech but it would be based on a different special national approach. Could Dr. Magyarics elaborate on what he believes that will translate into, via the rule of law?

Deputy Dooley referred to vulnerable communities, including the Roma community. It is widely know there has been a rise in attacks on the Roma community, including slum clearance, which has made many in Hungary homeless. What are the ambassador's views and how does he feel about the homelessness crisis in Dublin in the context of what is happening in his own country?
