I am glad to hear that Ms Al Tamimi's sister and family are safe. Long may that continue. She says that real action is needed from the Irish Government. I am sure she will acknowledge the work to date of the Irish Government. My question is for her initially but also for the wider panel. It will be my only question in the interests of time and brevity. Where do the witnesses see the most effective action from the Irish Government? What is the most effective thing we can do? Is it unilateral action, such as the occupied territories Bill, or its modern incarnation, and similar? Is it multilateral action through our partners in the EU? We can press the EU, which is a much bigger ship that has far more impact, to seek a solution. I am sure the answer is a combination of both, but I would be happy to hear the thoughts of the witnesses.
