We have received apologies from Senator Annie Hoey. I thank our guests for coming in and being here with us. We really look forward to what they have to say on this very topical issue of disinformation and misinformation.

I have a little housekeeping to do before we proceed, if our guests can bear with me and my colleagues while we get through that. I have some committee business to dispose of before we hear opening statements. Can I take it that the minutes of our meetings of 18 and 25 September 2024 are formally agreed and that no matters are arising?
