I have a question that is probably for Ms Lawlor. One of the interesting points that struck me in the Make it Your Business report is the reference to a study done by Trinity College in 2019. She is listed as being one of the authors of the study, which analysed 60 of the largest firms operating in Ireland. It found that 34% of the publicly listed companies scored zero against every human rights due diligence indicator and 72% failed to disclose whether they assessed salient risks and impacts. Could she speak a little bit about that and whether she knows if the statistics have improved at all?
