I have just three more brief questions. Electronic cyber warfare was mentioned earlier along with deepfake videos, and I think the Tánaiste himself had been part of something like that at some stage. What is the Government doing to ensure that when these things appear on someone's social media feed, people are prepared to not accept it at face value? Do we need to have a campaign at national level to get people to think twice, or three times or ten times before they accept what is coming at them on their mobile devices is the truth. These things can be so convincing. Are we doing enough as a Government? We are facing into elections now and there is all kinds of stuff thrown at us.
