I welcome His Excellency and his officials. A lot has been said and a lot of questions have been asked. I will comment on the ambassador's response to the Israel-Palestine situation. I welcome what he said. It is good to see that Denmark is of a similar mind to Ireland in this regard. At the end of the day, it will take a two-state solution to sort this out. I wish Denmark well and the best of luck during its Presidency. I hope it can keep this issue to the fore given what is happening. Honest to God, nobody can believe what is happening. I said yesterday that the UN Security Council could do much more, but it has not done so.

I see that €7.68 billion has been committed to Ukraine. That is fantastic. It is a massive amount of money to help and support the country.

Regarding migration, does Denmark have any issues? In Ireland we have a serious housing problem. Is that a problem in Denmark? How does Denmark manage in this regard?

The ambassador mentioned that Denmark had introduced a carbon tax for farming. How did that go with the farmers? This is a problem coming down the track for Ireland as well.
