I thank all the witnesses for being here. I am really enjoying today's session so far. I will focus my four minutes specifically on the ombudsman's office and the youth advisory panel. Hopefully, when we get a second round, I will come back in for the other organisations. Starting off with Dr. Muldoon, I have a few hopefully rapid-fire questions before I then get into some more discursive questions with the young people who are here today. It is around the EU AI Act and the office's designation as a fundamental rights body. Has Dr. Muldoon's office been promised additional resources to enable it to fulfil its duties under the AI act or does he expect those resources to be assigned to it in the upcoming budget?
