Thank you, Ms O'Connell, for your opening remarks. In passing, and before I open the floor, the bed bug story in France yesterday was interesting. One of the stories planted was that Ukrainians arriving into Europe were responsible. That was printed by reputable newspapers and now, due to investigation, has been shown quite clearly to have been one of these completely made-up stories that was circulated as disinformation. It shows how vulnerable groups can be targeted by misinformation.

Members are offering to contribute. Deputy Ó Murchú indicated first.
