Brendan Howlin: I will ask one brief supplementary question. I know we are coming towards the end of the meeting. I spoke at a seminar this week on media plurality and media freedom. One of the issues that came up as a real concern was the potential for external actors, including state actors, to interfere with the next European elections. I am interested in what the Minister of State has to say on this....

Water Policy: Statements (9 Nov 2022)

Brendan Howlin: Water is a most precious resource. Much has been written about the fact that the next war that will happen on this planet will be not over oil but rather over water.

Post-European Council: Statements (16 Nov 2022)

Brendan Howlin: I have two questions. First, I want to revisit the question just posed. I find the Minister of State's response entirely unacceptable. I refer to the notion of not overreacting.
