I thank Mr. Konený. That is very helpful. I am a supporter of Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions, BDS, in general and it has broad support in Irish society. Many people would like to boycott products or companies that have activity in the settlements. Will the witnesses speak a little about the activity of companies that have significant Irish operations and what they are doing in the illegal settlements? For example, I know Veolia has an interest, although I do not know exactly what it does in the settlements. There is also G4S and other companies where the witnesses could describe the activities they engage in within those settlements.
