We know the issue in relation to the Israeli genocide and continuing violence. We have seen no movement on the EU-Israel Association Agreement. Where is it now? What can be done to move that on? If we cannot move it on, we have to accept that we have to do what we can. We are all disappointed as regards the occupied territories Bill and the fact that services will not be included. Given the Tánaiste's foray into the issue of a united Ireland, would the Taoiseach consider that now is the time for the Government to do something and move properly?

We are already seeing displacement due to artificial intelligence. We know that there are huge possibilities in relation to innovation. As my constituency colleague just said, it is necessary that we allocate funding and resources, whether through Skillnet or however else we do it, to make sure that businesses, including local businesses in County Louth and everywhere else, have the facilities and resources to implement artificial intelligence. How exactly does the Government intend to deliver the social media ban for under-16s? There is much evidence concerning the difficulty of actually doing this. I think there will be engagement with not only young people but a huge number of stakeholders. The pressure, though, really needs to be on the tech companies. We know they are running addictive-by-design recommender algorithms that are about keeping people online, no matter how bad the information being put in front of them is or whether they are under or over 16. We really need these companies to be brought to account.
