We all are aware of the statements the Russian ambassador made to the Russian television station, Russia-24, in which he described Ireland as being a hotbed of anti-Russian sentiment. I do not think anyone here is anti-Russian but we certainly are anti-Putin and we are opposed to the federation in which he is involved. Did the Minister talk to the ambassador about his statement to a television station with 8 million viewers that Ireland is anti-Russian? What does that expose us to in terms of threats, particularly cybersecurity threats? Has an analysis been done on that?

Regarding the Ukrainian refugees heading towards Poland, has any thought been given to sending buses or aircraft from Ireland to transport people seeking sanctuary back here instead of having to make their own way?
