I thank Mr. Walsh. I am going to move to Media Literacy Ireland to discuss the same topic. I will try to get to Mr. O'Connor too. Perhaps the representatives of Media Literacy Ireland could help us to understand. As policymakers, do we demonstrate the understanding that incorrect information may be easier to deal with than something which is intentionally targeted to mislead? Do we have the regulatory structures to tackle disinformation?
