I thank Mr. Yermak. I am conscious of the Chair's advice to keep things succinct but I want to assure our visitors of our continued solidarity and support for the people of Ukraine. There have been a number of references to Europe and what we could be doing at an EU level. I would like to get the view around Ireland's position on the UN Security Council and how we may utilise that position. We have a very proud record of peacekeeping around the world but we also have a very proud record and experience of peace building. Whether it is in terms of peace building negotiations and, indeed, humanitarian support at a UN level, I would like to hear the views on what we could encourage people to do.
