I move on to the Ukraine situation. We see, with some alarm, what is happening in the last couple of days with Russia advancing. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are also constructing a Baltic defence line, costing €303 million and counting. From the Tánaiste's discussion with our colleagues in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, how concerned are they with what is happening on their borders? Is the fact they are actually constructing the Baltic defence line an indication they fear an invasion there?
