Unless there are other pressing issues, I am going to bring matters to conclusion. I acknowledge again the importance of your presence, ambassador, and indeed the importance of your work in Ireland for and on behalf of your people at this time of great difficulty and challenge. We will undoubtedly have a further opportunity of engaging with you. You have raised a number of issues that will require some follow up and consequent action on our part and you are going to share the information from the survey.

I acknowledge again the presence earlier of Mr. Yermak, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. He also posed a number of important questions that require our attention. We will undoubtedly be reverting to you, ambassador, later in the summer. We assure you that you are always welcome at this committee.

I announce with regret that your deputy, Mrs. Olena Shaloput, is leaving Ireland after a number of years-----
