To speak about the political environment, which is related, Dr. Evans will be aware that we are facing local and European elections next year and a general election in the next 18 months. This is not a uniquely Irish issue. The Federal Election Commission in the US is taking a much stronger role in this area. Coimisiún na Meán will have a relationship with the Electoral Commission, particularly in a political context. Misinformation and disinformation and increasing polarisation and support for extremist groups online area a major concern for us from a political perspective.
