Deputy Ó Murchú raised the issues of disinformation and hate. He identified shocking examples and the Minister has published hate legislation designed to go after people who do horrendous acts like that. There is no toleration of that.

On Deputy Mairéad Farrell's issue, I was not quite sure of the legislative response. She referred to fraud on a Revolut account and asked who someone could contact. There is an issue and the banking review published today deals with new technology banking companies, as well as the non-bank sector. I will come back to the Deputy from the Central Bank perspective with clarity around the regulatory context for Revolut and the measures it has.

The Minister of State, Deputy Browne, has been with the residents in relation to that tornado in Wexford. It was decided at Cabinet last week that it would come under a scheme along with other storm-ravaged areas. Because of the difference in the type of event, it being a tornado, there is the question of how to apply the scheme and so on but there will be a scheme. That has been announced.
