Mr. Peter Finnegan:

No; it is independent research carried out by Eurobarometer. The level of trust in the institution has gone up considerably. It is due to a number of factors, but I would like to think part of the reason is what we are doing in opening the Oireachtas to the people in order that they can see for themselves what is going on. A very strong objective is people should be able to access the Oireachtas on whatever platform they choose. Younger people will use their mobile devices and look at proceedings on their way home on the bus or in the evening, but older people are in the demographic who predominantly watch television. We are trying to create an offering for all segments of the population in order that they can see the work being done in Leinster House.
