I thank the Chair. The guests are all welcome here. Cuirim fáilte rompu. It is a pity Twitter did not bother to show up. I echo the sentiment expressed by my colleagues.

I ask the witnesses to set out their organisations' respective plans for the European and local elections next year, focusing solely on paid advertising as opposed to organic political content. Obviously, the concerns here are huge. I wonder if there are plans to black-out advertisements? If so, when will this kick in? Will there be a ban on international interference and maybe AI advertising as well? How can one tell if an advertisement is created by AI? I would appreciate if people would be brief on this. There are three sections I would like to go through and this is one of them.
