Professor Tonra referenced the Commission on the Defence Forces. From his point of view, what does Ireland need to do to improve in that context? I do not expect a comprehensive reply, just a couple of headlines. I am not sure if Professor Ó Beacháin answered my question about the Russian naval exercises and whether they were meant to intimidate and threaten or they were just something that was happening anyway.

China appears to be backing Russia in respect of Ukraine. What is China up to in this regard?
