Ms Lorna Hayes:

This question was a checklist. We did an open-ended question on whether the EU is moving in the right direction or the wrong direction. That was an open question. The answers there came from the respondents but this one was a checklist. It was linked to our polls in previous years and to the geopolitical climate at the time of doing the polls. That is why we selected these categories. We had stand-alone questions on Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine last year. That is why we asked them again but they are also embedded with other options. We cannot answer but the Deputy is right in querying the Russia-Ukraine question. Is it that there is not enough military support; is it that there are too many Ukrainian refugees; or is it the case that there is not sufficient humanitarian support and so on? It is really hard to answer that question.
